The Story

Susan from Missouri contacted us to write a song as a surprise wedding gift for her step-daughter, who's father passed away a few years before her wedding. The song was to be written as if it were being sung to her by her father and would be played as a tribute during the father/daughter dance at the reception hall. The lyrics were written from pages of notes supplied by Susan, enabling us to write a song that was fully custom and very personal, filled with very specific sayings and memories.

How did we do? Please read her testimonial.

Lyrics

Hey it's me
I just wanted you to know
You look so beautiful babe
As you made your way down the aisle
This proud father couldn't help smile
Then I blew you a kiss and I gave you away

To the same man who once called me
And informed me of his intent
Well I'm sorry that my blessing
Must come Heaven Sent

Tilt your head to the stars
For this moment is all ours
Let your memory lead
Honey Would You Dance With Me

Dance with me
By the way you love each other
Through every hard time that appears
“Your bond will only grow stronger with time”
I hope and pray that together you'll find
What I had with my “babe”
“For 30 wonderful years”

Lead you children by example
“You know they learn what they live”
Can't believe how much they're growing
“Our Forever Bond” will always exist

Hey DJ play our song
I've been waiting all day long
Let your memory lead
Honey Would You Dance With Me

My little girl is beaming
Your eyes they are a gleaming
And though I can't be there by your side
That ring there on your left hand
Is from a sincere, honest man
So “I know he'll treat all my girls right”

Dance with Me
When you want to
In your heart
There's a part
Of me to hold on to

From now until your golden days
Wherever, whenever our special song plays
Let your memory lead
Honey Would You Dance
I'll be there when you need
Holding out my hand

Let your memory lead
Honey would you dance with me
