Dad-Themed Songs Perfect for Father's Day

Abbitha
A great way of honoring your dad, and bringing a tear to his eye, would be to dedicate a song to him. There are actually not that many songs actually written about dads, so I decided to include songs not specifically about dads, but songs that can also represent how your feel about your dad. Here are 10 songs that are perfect songs for you to dedicate to your dad.

"Landslide"
By: Fleetwood Mac
This is a dad themed song. It might not be the most perfect dad themed song, but thats why its up here at number 10 not number 1. This song is a good song about love changing as you grow up and get older

"The First Man That I Loved"
By: T.J. Loughran
This is another song about dads, and the fact that they are the first love in a young girls life. The song explains how this first love was so special and it aways will be special to her.

"Have I told you Lately"
By Rod Stewart
This is another song not sung specifically for dads, but the message is a good one. This song is about have I told you lately that I love you, I think it is perfect for dads because so often we don't tell them that we love them often enough

"Father and Son"
By: Cat Stevens
This song is about a Russian family. The dad encourages the son and lets him know everything is going to be all right with whatever he chooses. This is a sweet dad theme song.

"Cats in the Cradle"
By: Harry Chapin
You have to avoid the main message of this song, because it is about a dad that is never there, but if you ignore that it is a sweet song about a on wanting to be just like his dad. If you want to dedicate this to your dad be sure to explain what part. Or better just cut most of it out, and just use the sweet lines.

"Can you feel the love tonight"
By Elton John
This song talks about that there is a time for everything. Even though this song is not specifically about a dad, I think that it is very good song for dads on fathers day or any special day.
"Daddy's Hands"
By Holly Dunn
In this song she comes to the conclusion that there was always love in daddy's hands, even when she was young and disciplined her. She realized later how €much her dad had done.

"Because you loved me"
By Celine Dion
This isn't technically a song about dads, but trust me your dad won't care. This song is a very sweet song about how this persons love made you everything that you are, that sounds like a dad to me.

"Dance With My Father"
By Luther Vandross
This is a very sweet song about a deaf dad.

And the Number 1 best song about Dad's

"Butterfly Kisses"
By: Bob Carlisle
This is the ultimate dad song. This is such a sweet song about a father watching his daughter grow up. I danced with my dad to this song at my wedding. I can't listen to this song without bringing a tear to my eyes.

I hope reading this brought back good memories of your dad!
