Soundtrack of my life: The song that made Dad cry

Rachel and I dancing to "Somebody's Baby."
At some point late in the wedding planning, Rachel asked me, “What should be the song for the father-daughter dance?”

I answered with my default response to any wedding-related question asked by my daughter or wife. “I dunno. You decide.”

She spent a few minutes checking the internet, then punched up a song. “How about this one?” she asked.

Seeing the tears in my eyes as I recognized the tune, she nodded. “OK, that’s the one.”

And here we are, dancing to Jackson Browne’s “Somebody’s Baby.”

Well, just look at that girl with the lights coming up in her eyes.

She's got to be somebody's baby,

She must be somebody's baby.

All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by.

She's got to be somebody's baby,

She must be somebody's baby,

She's got to be somebody's baby 'cause she's so fine.
