What you should know from the artist:
I wrote this song in 2012 for two of my best friends, as a wedding present. They had started dating in High-School (2004), and beat all of the odds: staying together, and eventually getting married. I presented them with an acoustic version of this song back in 2012.
10 years later I re-wrote the lyrics to better reflect their journey (and to include their daughter) and surprised them with a fully produced version on the day of their 10 year wedding anniversary. This song goes out to all those high school sweethearts out there!

Song Title: Can I Have This Dance?
Artist: Joey Clarkson feat. Dan Edwards & Máiréad
Released: June 26, 2020
Lyrics Quote: “When I was half my height, used to place both my feet on yours and we would glide, we would miss every beat of course, I know you tried but dancing was never your style. Now I’m 5’9 and when I took him home, Dad, that look in your eye… suddenly I had grown up, no longer a child holding onto your hands. Oh, it’s been years since we did, but Dad, can I have this dance?”
Genre: Country
Wedding Moment to Play: Father/Daughter Wedding Dance
What you should know from the artist:
This is a song I wrote for my Dad to surprise him for our own father-daughter dance at my wedding. I wrote it in 2016, and had our Wedding band learn it. He had no idea until they announced it and called us out for our dance together. 4 years later, I secretly had it produced as a surprise for his Birthday.
