Which song do you prefer?

My dad's birthday is two days before father's day and as well as a present, I want to make a video of photos of the two of us. I need a song as a backing track and I am going to sing it to make it more special as my dad has only ever heard me sing during school plays.

The songs I have chosen are purely through lyrics and not who sings them, so ignore the artists :)

Song 1:

You tucked me in, turned out the light,

Kept me safe and sound at night,

Little girls depend on things like that.



Brushed my teeth and combed my hair,

Had to drive me everywhere,

You were always there when I looked back.



You had to do it all alone,

Make a living, make a home,

Must have been as hard as it could be.



And when I couldn't sleep at night,

Scared things wouldn't turn out right,

You would hold my hand and sing to me.



Caterpillar in the tree,

How you wonder who you'll be,

Can't go far but you can always dream.



Wish you may and wish you might,

Don't you worry, hold on tight

I promise you there will come a day...

Butterfly fly away.



Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away.

Flap your wings now you can't stay,

Take those dreams and make them all come true.



Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away,

We've been waiting for this day,

All along and knowing just what to do,

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away.



Butterfly fly away.

Butterfly fly away.



Song 2:

I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on.

I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run.

Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold.

I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home.



I don't know why all the trees change in the fall,

But I know you're not scared of anything at all.

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away,

But I know I had the best day with you today.



I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean,

I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys,

And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away,

And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names.



I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school,

But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you.

Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay,

But I know I had the best day with you today.



I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger,

God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am.

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run,

And I had the best days with you.



There is a video I found from back when I was three,

You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me.

It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs,

And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world.



And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall,

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong,

And I love you for giving me your eyes,

For staying back and watching me shine,

And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking' this chance to say,

That I had the best day with you today.



Obviously I will have to slightly change the lyrics for the second song as my parents aren't together and I don't really want to talk about my brothers.Which song do you prefer?
