Music Options For Your Father-Daughter Dance

The father-daughter dance is a time honored tradition at many weddings. And in recent years, two songs have stood out as standards for this dance: “Butterfly Kisses” and “Daddy’s Little Girl”.

But let’s say you’d like to take this in another direction. You have a lot of possibilities. If you’re a country music fan, Tim McGraw’s “My Little Girl” may be the obvious choice.

Then again, you may prefer “I Loved Her First” by Heartland (as seen during an actual wedding father-daughter dance).

Here are three options from New York / New Jersey artists:
First, Bruce Springsteen’s “When You Need Me.”
