For some brides, a father-daughter dance song is easy to choose. You may have that perfect song in mind, and you know that both you and your dad will just love it.

“Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle

If you’re looking for a song that is truly unique, then this choice isn’t for you. While it’s a beautiful song and perfect for a father-daughter dance, it is also one of the most classic, all-time favorites of brides and dads all over the globe. If you want something classic, though, this beautiful song is an excellent choice.

“The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra

Who doesn’t love a little Sinatra? This song is the perfect dance number for you and your dad if you like some jazz and swing influence, as well as sentimental lyrics.

“Hero” by Mariah Carey

Another popular classic, this song gives you goose bumps. Its expression of a daughter’s love for her father is spot-on. It is just as popular as “Butterfly Kisses,” but if you don’t mind sharing the song with other brides, then it can make your father-daughter dance a very fond memory.

“I Loved her First” by Heartland

This country song is sure to melt hearts. Its lyrics and overall melody make it one of the best songs for a father and daughter to dance to, and country music lovers will love it, too.
