Father-daughter dance song for not-so-close relationship?

*Please do not suggest not doing one because I want to do one*
So I'm doing a Father-Daughter dance with my Dad and Step Dad. I have the song picked for my step dad. My biological dad and I haven't had the greatest relationship growing up. He left when I was 6 but to prison for 5 years and then moved to another state and I saw him here and there. Didn't see him often until I moved to the same state as him when I was 18 and have been here 8 years. I still wouldn't say we are super close though. We see each other a few times a month maybe. He has helped us a little bit with the wedding.
So, any suggestions for father-daughter songs for not so close relationships?

    Keep the song extremely neutral. For example, What A Wonderful World is a common choice on the all the song lists and it’s very generic.

    I would suggest a song that gives general feelings of hope, inspiration, and love for mankind rather than something specific for fathers and daughters. Someone else suggested "What a Wonderful World". I would add "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, or maybe "What the World Needs Now" by Jackie DeShannon. "Lean On Me" might also work.
