Father-daughter Wedding Dance Songs
| “I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you’ll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance” ― I Hope You Dance, by Lee Ann Womack |
| “Look at the two of you dancing that way Lost in the moment and each others’ face So much in love you’re alone in this place Like there’s nobody else in the world I was enough for her not long ago I was her number one She told me so And she still means the world to me Just so you know So be careful when you hold my girl Time changes everything Life must go on And I’m not gonna stand in your way But I loved her first and I held her first |
| “I remember Daddy’s hands, folded silently in prayer, And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare. You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines, Years of work and worry had left their mark behind. I remember Daddy’s hands, how they held my Mama tight, And patted my back, for something done right. There are things that I’ve forgotten, that I loved about the man, But I’ll always remember the love in Daddy’s hands.” ― Daddy’s Hands, by Holly Dunn |
