Father/Daughter First Dance Song?

So, my wedding is in 12 days (yes... 12 days) and I have yet to decide on the father/daughter dance song. I've listened to just about every song out there, and cannot seem to find the perfect song. Right now I'm leaning towards Kenny G's instrumental version of "I Will Always Love You" - my dad & I are big smooth jazz fans, so it seems appropriate. I just wanted suggestions/thoughts to see if there's any song(s) I may be missing... Thanks in advance for your help!

Update:

I don't want anything too cheesy... (ex. butterfly kisses, my little girl, etc.)

    if you are both huge jazz fans, I would choose anything with a jazz beat... I love the one you mention above personally.

    Butterfly kisses

    Okay, how about "You're the best thing that ever happened to me" by Gladys Knight and the Pips.

    Your husband can cut in the dance and it will still be wonderfully appropriate

    I think I'm gonna cry....

    I hate country music, but I love Through the Years. Another great go-to song is I'll Stand by You by The Pretenders. (check it on youtube). It was actually written by a mother to her son, so there's nothing strange in it. Also, the song is to honor your dad, so there's no reason you can't let him choose or provide input. I do like the one you've chosen, though.

    Consider Amos - Sweet Pea or Luna - Sweet Child o Mine. They're not cheesy but has an element of familiarity.

    Butterfly kisses by Bob Carlisle is a beautiful song. Its even about a father fiving away his daughter on her wedding day.
