Having a daughter [1] can be maddening, annoying, and exhausting, but it's also one of the greatest gifts [2] you could ever receive. From the first time your little girl smiles [3] to the day she leaves home for college, a parent's relationship with his or her daughter includes an immeasurable amount of tears and triumphs [4]. And because it's sometimes hard to put all of those feelings into words, we've made a playlist of songs where musicians did it perfectly for us. From classic tearjerkers like "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder [5] to lesser-known numbers like "Precious" by Depeche Mode, there's a little something for every daughter-loving music fan.
