The songs below were the songs Lex and I used in our Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances at our wedding. We carefully picked each song to fully express how we felt. The words are so poignant and meaningful that it always seem to bring tears to my eyes. To my mom and dad, we love you and miss you. We hope everything is great over there. Keep the love alive! =)The lyrics would be appreciated more if you hear it with its melodies...
A Song For My Daughter (Father-Daughter Dance)
by Marc Cohn
Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms.
You grew into a little girl
With lovely childhood charms.
Now it seems I only turn around and I see you by his side.
Oh I can't believe my eyes today,
My daughter is a bride.
I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here.
Still I wonder as I look at you what became of all the years.
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside.
Oh I can't believe my eyes today,
My daughter is a bride.
All the laughter and the tear drops,
The sunshine and the rain.
I would re-live every moment dear,
If I could bring them all back again.
And now my love, the time has come
To send you on your way.
So I wish you well and happiness
And the blessings of this day.
And I hope the love I've given you will forever be your guide.
Oh I can't believe my eyes today, My daughter.
Oh I can't believe my eyes, My daughter.
Oh my angel and my pride.
My daughter is a bride.
The First Lady In My Life (Mother-Son Dance)
by Paul Todd
From sleepless nights and rocking chairs
Your smiling face was always there
From little trucks and building blocks
You held my hand while I learned to walk
You were my best friend, my inspiration
The one I looked up to..
Hey Mom...The First Lady In My Life Was You
There were bedtime snacks and nursery rhymes
For goodnight prayers, there was always time
You taught me to live by the golden rule
Made sure I got to Sunday School
You disciplined with Love my whole life through
A gentle touch was all I ever knew..
Hey Mom...The First Lady In My Life Was You
Then later on, came sports and games
You’d sit in the stands and call my name
And win or loose, you’d smile and say
"Son I’m proud of you, everything’s OK"
You were the one, I’d always turn to
When times were sad and blue..
Hey Mom...The First Lady In My Life Was You
There’s so many things to say thank you for
Birthdays, camping and so much more
The little things that mean so much
Like laundry done with a loving touch
And who could forget, three meals a day
Carpools, scouts and PTA’s..
Hey Mom...The First Lady In My Life Was You
So here we are today, now I’m finally grown
About to take a wife, and start a family of my own
Everything I am, I owe to you
You molded me so carefully and you saw me through
It’s hard to tell you how I feel, without a lot of mush
But I must tell you true..
Hey Mom, I’m So Glad...The First Lady In My Life Was You
