My dad and I danced to “Daddy’s Hands” (by Holly Dunn). If the groom is named Jim, there is the Mike Douglas song “The Men in My Little Girl’s Life.” “The Way You Look Tonight” is another good one. “You’ll be in My Heart” by Phil Collins. One of my favorites is “Sentimental Journey” by Doris Day. ---

I danced to [I Believe In You](http://www.lyricsdepot.com/don-williams/i-believe-in-you.html) by Don Williams with my dad when I got married. I remembered him singing the song when I was young, and it’s just such a mello, sweet song. It was perfect for my wedding. I still cry when I hear it. It’s just touching! ---
