Song for Sunday: Fathers & Daughters

I've pondered what song to share today. The other day, Big Sister asked me if I remembered the song about fathers & daughters. I wasn't sure what she meant until she clarified: the one you played on the way to the hospital when you were going to have me! So I almost made today's song "Daughters" by John Mayer.

I also thought about the song my hubby keeps in the car to play on daddy-daughter-dates. The one I fully anticipate hearing someday in the (distant, please) future when he dances with Big Sister at her wedding: "Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman.

Finally, I thought about the song "King of the World" by Point of Grace, which is actually the inspiration for a book called Dance Me, Daddy, which the girls will be giving their daddy today for Father's Day.

But in the end, I thought this song, which Big Sister learned at school and has been singing constantly since, fit the best:

(to the tune of "He's Got the Whole World")

"I've got the best father in the world

I've got the best father in the world
I've got the best father in the world
I'm the luckiest girl or boy"

Both Daddy & I suggested to Big Sister that she could just sing, "I'm the luckiest girl around." But she, purist that she is, insisted she had to sing it just the way she learned it.

Either way, she's right. Happy Father's Day, Honey! Our girls are the luckiest most blessed girls.

or boys.
