OT - Help pick a father-daughter dance Disney song

[actionvaughn]

I quadruple rec "You'll Be in My Heart." What an adorable Daddy-daughter song! And "Ever, Ever After" from Enchanted would be riddiculously adorable too!

Oh.. and "Everyday" from High School Musical 2.

 

[ty&brenmom]

Not a "Disney" song per se but how about Dance with Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman? It's a beautiful song about a father/daughter dancing and how he knows that one day she will grow up, it always tears me up.

OOPS forgot to add I love the Tarzan song also

 

[starwood]

Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon.

ready set don'tgo- billy ray cyrus is cute. there is also another one that myley and billy ray sing together

 

[DisDee]

My son and I danced to "The Circle of Life" at his wedding in August. I feel that its appropriate for many special occasions. Our family and friends all agreed that it was a great choice.

I second that the SCC song is so sweet.

Oh- also-
If I never knew you from Pocahontas.
Here's the lyrics-



If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me


In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes


And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you


Pocahontas
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you


Smith
I thought our love would be so beautiful

Pocahontas
Somehow we made the whole world bright

Both
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right

Pocahontas
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

Smith
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...

Both
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

Pocahontas
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light

Both
And still my heart is singing
We were right

Smith
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through

Pocahontas
Empty as the sky

Both
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

WOW... I never knew all the words.... what a lovely song

I'd never heard this but I think it's perfect and keeps with the Disney theme, even if it's not officially a Disney song.

 

[Experiment #626]

I suggest Dumbo's "Baby Mine." This song always reminds me of a parent's love for their child.

 

[waltskids]

Candle on the Water or You'll be in my Heart

 

[KelNottAt]

Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon.

Doh! You beat me to it! I love that song. I cry whenever I hear it.

 

[luckey-lasvegas]

I like all the other suggestions, I thought of theTarzan song first.

There is also a good song from The Lion King II called We are One. Simba sings it to his daughter
Kiara.

I also love The Prayer !

Also You're Heart Will Lead You Home

Hi,
I love Disney songs. Some good suggestions here so far, especially "You'll Be In My Heart" and also I second "We are One", one of my favorites!
To add to the list, "Welcome" is another song by Phil Collins from the Brother Bear soundtrack; it's about family; I'll post the lyrics below for you to decide

There's nothing complicated about the way we live
We're all here for each other, happy to give
Proud of who we are
Humbled beneath the stars

We've everything we need
The moon, the sun
There is more than enough here for everyone
All we have we share
And all of us we care, so come on

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking to the
friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know and best of all
We're happy to share it all

There's a bond between us, nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life,
and seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too...
so come on

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking to the
friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know and best of all
We're happy to share it all

Remembering loved ones departed
Someone dear to your heart
Finding love, and planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget

This has to be the most beautiful
The most peaceful place I've ever been to
It's nothing like I've ever seen before
When I think of how far I've come,
I can't believe it...and yet I see it
In them I see family
I see the way we used to be

Come on...

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy giving and taking to the
friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do

Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival, you know and best of all
We're happy to share it all

We're here to share it all

Love that song!! And from a fellow Delawarean *ahem* I might say!!

In My Daughters Eyes is not a Disney song, but I have to pull over whenever it comes on.

"Welcome" was our theme song for our family reunion last year... I lobve that song... but you'll never guess who picked that one out....

 

[JimboJones123]

Let's Get Together from Parent Trap!

Fun song that says we can really have a great time together.

I also could see Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes.

Don't do Jesse's song from Toy Story for sure!
