Original song for Father-Daughter dance

When a father-of-the-bride approached us to compose a song written just for his special dance at his daughter's wedding, JMO was happy to oblige. Denny Leroux wrote this tune just for them...contact us to see what sort of music we can conjure up for your next special occasion!

Lyrics: 

You're the joy of my life

Today you begin a new wonderful life

Watching you grow has meant more than you know

I never dreamed I could love someone so

For you and for me, love always will be

High as the sky, Deep as the sea

My baby girl, you're so precious to me

I give your hand to your partner today

Soon he will come to dance you away

My dream for you is to love every day

Count every blessing and share them always

For you and for me, love always will be

High as the sky, Deep as the sea

My baby girl, you always will be

You've become more than I could have dreamed

I want you to know all that you mean to me

The gift that you are, I'm happy to share

Just know, when you need me, Daddy always is there

From this day forth, you'll start a new family

Just one more gift that you've given to me

Now for a song, love always will be

High as the sky, Deep as the sea

Watching you grow has been a dream for me
