BTW low-key, thanks for these song threads you start. I rack my brain all day thinking up songs, then I start singing them....

Father Christmas - The Kinks

"When I was little I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad"

 

[Disneylover99]

Fool to Cry - The Rolling Stones

"I put my daughter on my knee
She says "Daddy, what's wrong"
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers sweet in my ear
You know what she says? She says
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

 

[Nancy F]

Color Him Father.

Squeeze Box - The Who

"Momma's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night"

Delaney talks to statues by Jimmy Buffitt


Delaney talks to statues
As she dances ’round the pool
She chases cats through Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools

She speaks a language of her own
That I cannot discover
But she knows, I love her so
When I tuck her ’neath the covers

Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat

Delaney draws me pictures
She finger paints the sand
We chase the dogs and hop like frogs
Then I do my bad handstand

She’s growin’ up too fast for me
And askin’ lots of questions
Some I know the answers to
And some I’m lookin’ for suggestions

Father, daughter
Born by the water
Surf’s up, sun’s down
Life in a beach town

And some of the things I’ve seen
Maybe she won’t have to see
But there’s a lot I want to pass along
That was handed down to me

Delaney talks to statues
As she dances ’round the pool
She chases cats through Roman ruins
And stomps on big toadstools

She speaks a language of her own
Just a little like her mother
And she knows, I love her so
When I tuck her ’neath the covers

Father, daughter
Down by the water
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat
Shells sink, dreams float
Life’s good on our boat

Soulshine by The Allman Brothers


...just like my Daddy used to say,
He used to say soulshine, better than sunshine,
better than moonshine, damned sure better than rain.

I sure do miss my Daddy. Thanks for the memories.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Stoner....

Nope, but one would sure think so with my musical taste

 

[snykymom]

I'm surprised no one mentioned this (but I suppose I'm showing my age, too!)

Fun, Fun, Fun by the Beach Boys

"And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes the T-bird away."

Of course, there's also the one that used to be the quintessential father-daughter song at weddings:
"Daddy's Little Girl."
