so i have been pondering for awhile what song to use for the father/daughter dance. my dad is my stepdad so he wasnt there when I was born or anything like that which rules out a lot of the songs. he is the only father i have ever known tho and has taken care of my mom, sister and I so I want this to be special for him. I love Rascal Flatts and I think this song is perfect, here are the lyrics...what do you guys think? Something different from the same old songs!
"My Wish"
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

and the last line there teared me up !
great choice!
Before I moved from my home in Vermont to England two years ago for college my mom played this song for me in the car and said "This is my song to you, I want you to always know I'm proud of you and love you."
I can't listen to it while I'm away because it makes me cry every time...haha but it's a beautiful song! Awesome choice! :)
