“Just The Two Of Us” by Will Smith
Memorable Lyrics:
I know I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord, please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you
“Father and Daughter” by Paul Simon
Memorable Lyrics:
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you always know
As long as one and one is two
Ooh ooh
There could never be a father
Love his daughter more than I love you
“I Learned From You” by Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus
Memorable Lyrics:
I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin’
There’s no question, that’s a lesson
I learned from you
“Right By You (for Luna)” by John Legend
Memorabe Lyrics:
And even when it all becomes too much
When you’re growing old and feeling out of touch
Ooh, listen to this song and just take care
And know that I will be there
“Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle
Memorable Lyrics:
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
“Daddy” by Beyonce
Memorable Lyrics:
No matter what mistakes I make you’re there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my biz and you protected me
I treasure every irreplaceable memory
“Danny’s Song” by Loggins and Messina
Memorable Lyrics:
Pisces, Virgo rising
Is a very good sign
Strong and kind
And the little boy is mine
But, now I see a family
Where once was none
“Papa Can You Hear Me?” by Barbra Streisand
Memorable lyrics:
I remember ev’rything you thought me
Ev’ry book I’ve ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
“Dance With My Father” by Luther Vandross
Memorable lyrics:
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then
Spin me around ’till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved
