Picking a father-daughter dance song can be tough. You have to go for the perfect balance of warm, fuzzy and danceable, while dodging any unsavoury lyrics (for example Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison almost made the cut, were it not for the line about “making love in the green grass”…ew).

Here are ten fabulous classics you can dance to with dear old dad.

10. My Girl – The Temptations

"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)"

9. Sweet Child of Mine – Guns ‘n’ Roses

"She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain"

For those who want a gentler and sweeter version of the G’n’R classic, try the beautiful Taken by Trees cover on for size:

8. Your Song – Elton John

"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world"

7. Close To You – The Carpenters

"On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue"

6. Isn’t She Lovely – Stevie Wonder

"Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely, made from love"

5. The Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler

"Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings."

4. Ruby Tuesday – The Rolling Stones

"Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you"

3. Daughter – Loudon Wainwright III

"Everything she sees
She says she wants
Everything she wants
I see she gets
That's my daughter in the water"

2. Unforgettable – Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole

"Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
That's why darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too"

1. What a wonderful world – Louis Armstrong

"I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world"
