My siblings and I are throwing my Dad a surprise 60th birthday party on Friday and I'm putting together a photo montage of his life. I'm in desperate need of background music, I have chosen What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong but still need at least two more songs to fill what should be a 10 -12 minute video.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

Daddy's Hands Lyrics

Print the Lyrics

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 were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

I remember Daddy´s hands, working 'til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I´d live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love .....
In Daddy´s hands.
 
I did something like this for my grandmother:

I broke the pictures up into sections and tried to put music with each section:

for pictures of her parents, childhood, etc I used Paul Anka's "Time's of your Lives" - (the kodak commercial song. "the laughter and the tears.....do you remember the times your life

For pictures with my grandfather I used a country song called "I'd chosse you again". "i'd choose you again, i'f god gave me the chance to do it all again, I'd carefully consider every choice I've made, out of all the boys in the world I'd choose you again.

For pictures with her children and grandchildren growing up I used "I hope you dance".

Finally for pictures of her great grandchildren I used "when Irish eyes are smiling" - I guess this only works if you dad is Irish.

Other Ideas:

Through the years
There are places I remember
 

You know what song I love - "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed. I think it would be great with shots of the family doing stuff together.
