Father/Daughter Song-Non-Religious

I am looking for suggestions for a father/daughter song. We are not a religious family and I do not want to go with the traditional (and somewhat cheesy--sorry) Butterfly Kisses or Daddy`s Girl. Any suggestions for a sweet and unique song for this important dance...?
Thank you!!

I am probably going to dance to DADDY"S HANDS. I am not sure who sings it. The wording is beautiful and it isn`t religious.

Tina,

I cut and copied this listing off of a website out there for some different options. A lot of the songs though are pretty cheesey, and traditional. Personally, I agree with you about the cheeseness and not wanting it. I am doing Dido`s "Thank you" or Elton John`s "Tiny Dance" or Elton`s "Your Song."

Hopefully this gives you a few ideas! Good luck.

I used My Girl by The Temptations and everyone loved it. I was like you and didn`t want the cheezy garbage that a lot of people tend to use. Another suggestion for a song that everyone really enjoyed was for the cake cutting. We used All Shook Up by Elvis. Seriously....everyone stood up and started clapping and dancing around at their table. It was hysterical. They all really got into it.
