How about �Father and Son � by Cat Stevens?

�My Father �s Eyes � by Eric Clapton

�Father and Daughter � Paul Simon

�Just the two of us � Will Smith (might be good for younger kids)

Hope that helps!

cats in the cradle with the silver spoon

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin � �fore I knew it, and as he grew
He �d say "I �m gonna be like you dad
You know I �m gonna be like you"

And the ... cat �s in the cradle and the silver spoonLittle boy blue and the man on the moon

there are many great rock versions of this song.

ROCK N" ROLL BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there! For me the best song ever for father �s day is "Hero" By Mariah Carey. I discovered it at a seminar an I loved it at once. Let me write the lyrics for you. I hope you like it

There �s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don �t have to be afraid
Of what you are

There �s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you �ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It �s a long road
And you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold

You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Oh ho, Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don �t let anyone
Tear them away, hey yea

Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time, you find the way, hey

Then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

Hello!

How about The Right Man by Cristina Aguilera.

It �s quite sad though! It �s about her wedding day. Her father wasn �t there to give her away and she suddenly realises how sad she feels on what �s supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

We �ve just created a new site dedicated to offering song-based lesson plans and worksheets for teaching English as a Foreign Language. There are also ideas and advice about using songs in the EFL classroom; including pages dedicated to song suggestions for various grammar points/discussion topics.

Come by and check us out some time. And please spread the news if you like what you see!

Good luck with your new class!
