Well, here's the classic.

DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL - Mills Brothers

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and to hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You're mommy's bright and shining star.

You're the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree,
You're the Easter Bunny to mommy and me.
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

You're the treasure I cherish, so sparkling and bright,
You were touched by the holy and beautiful light.
Like angels that sing, a heavenly thing,
And you're daddy's little girl.

Here's another nice one I dredged up a while back.

DAUGHTER OF MINE - John McDermott
Lyrics by Madeline Thomson.

These are the thoughts of a father,
On the wedding day of his daughter,
As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her.
He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes,
As onto the dance floor they glide.
It's the dance of the bride and her father.

CHORUS
Dance with me, daughter of mine,
On this, your wedding day.
Dance with me, daughter of mine,
You'll soon be going away.
I loved you since you first began.
Now you've found a new man,
But I love you so, and this you must know,
That my love won't falter,
So, dance with me, daughter,
Beautiful daughter of mine.

We walk down the aisle.
On my face there's a smile
But, deep in my heart there's a tear.
Our friends and relations are here in the church,
With smiles on their faces they stare
As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart,
And to whom I must give you away,
But I wish you love and happiness, too,
On this your wedding day.

CHORUS

The dance has begun,
We twirl round the floor,
But, I know you're not my little girl anymore.
A lovely young woman has taken her place,
And there's happiness written all over her face,
But, always remember, although we must part,
You may leave my arms.... but never my heart.

CHORUS

I wanted something "not traditional" as Daddy's Little Girl is....I chose "Turn Around" a Harry Belafonte song....

Daughter of Mine is wonderful!

If you're up for a good polka, try "Papa. Won't You Dance with Me"

or From the "King and I" try "Shall We Dance?"
