I always love hearing what songs brides pick to dance to with their daddies at weddings. My dad & I danced to “The Last Farewell” by Roger Whitaker. When I was growing up my dad used to always listen to Roger Whitaker as he was working on projects around the house…hearing this song takes me back about 25 yrs ago and happy memories growing up. It sounds like a sad song but I still liked it just because of where it puts me when I hear it.
The bride at the wedding we went to last night picked “I Loved Her First“, by Heartland. It was such a sweet song; a friend forwarded me the lyrics and it made me cry. People at the wedding last night were telling Rick to just wait – in 20+some years it will be him giving his daughter away. I can’t even begin to imagine Mallory growing up and being that big – I am so interested to see how her personality develops :-)
That then reminded of that Trace Adkins song “You’re Gonna Miss This” (he sang it on the season finale of The Apprentice and it made me weepy then too). I have to remember to slow down and enjoy every single moment of my baby girl who is already growing up way too fast.
UPDATE: Here is link to song that Lissa referred to in her comment – “Let Them Be Little” by Billy Dean.
There’s also the great “Let them be little.” Those songs kill me!
