I don't think the original Joni Mitchell version would make me cry, because I've just heard it so many times, not that it isn't beautiful, but it's just so familiar. I've actually never heard any other version until I found this one. The way he sings it is so different from Joni that it feels brand new.

As the fafter of a girl a little older than yours, I enjoyed it very much (Don't tell anyone, but it [almost] brought tears to my eyes).

There is another song just as beautiful and haunting about dancing with my little girl—if anyone can think of the name, and even better, find a link to it, I'd love it.

Happy Birthday to your daughter and, again, thanks

Dorian
