This is the first part in a two part series including an interview we had with Jack Kapanka Singer and song writer of “Angel in my Arms” a popular Father Daughter wedding song.  He is the proud father of 3 girls and one boy and is certainly knowledgeable about this subject.

Jack himself is the ultimate tough guy and was born blind in Bethlehem, PA. 

At the age of two, he gained sight in his right eye and by age three, he was singing with his family in various churches and half-way houses across the country. At age 21 Jack headed to Orlando Florida to pursue his dream of becoming a stuntman. Fueled by his adventurous spirit and natural athletic ability, he worked an array of jobs from bungy jump-master to professional bicycle free-stylist. At one of these jobs, he was asked to try his hand at writing a commercial jingle. The jingle went Nationwide for “Picway Shoes”. The path to his new future was paved into the music industry.

Jack’s music touches the heart strings of our society as a whole.  Other than his many theme songs, Jack has written  4 National radio cuts (She’s Got My Heart, Angel In My Arms, What They Gave To Me, America Moves By Truck) 2 movie songs (So Right, Play It As It Lies), and 2 National television jingles (Picway Shoes, The Daily Buzz).

He has performed with Lonestar, Brad Paisley, Ty Herndon,  The BackStreet Boys, NSYNC, The Pointer Sisters, Michael Peterson, Boys To Men, Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), Joe Diffie and many more. 

And here is his awesome Father Daughter Wedding song:

Angel In My Arms

By Jack Kapanka

On the day that you were born

A fear came over me

How was I to hold you

What would you grow to be

When I held you in my arms

My fear just went away

And I began to understand

You’d always make me feal that way

You’re an angel in my arms

And how I love you so

Yet I know the day will come

That I’ll have to let you go

Until then I’ll hold you gently

With tenderness and care

And let you know your daddy

Forever will be there

When you were 5 and off to school

With pigtails in your hair

I wanted to go with you

Or somehow just be there

As I walked you to the corner

To help you on your way

You turned around to hug me

This is all that I could

You’re an angel in my arms

And how I love you so

Yet I know the day will come

That I’ll have to let you go

Until then I’ll hold you gently

With tenderness and care

And let you know your daddy

Forever will be there

There were times that we were best friends

And times we grew apart

But never was there one time

That you weren’t in my heart

Now all at once

The time has come

Your wedding day is here

Your mom and I are so proud

Yet still I shed a tear

As we step upon the dance floor

And I look into your eyes

I can see you truely love him

And I begin to realize

You’ll be an angel in his arms

And how he’ll love you so

Now at last the time has come

That I must let you go

Till this song ends I’ll hold you gently

With tenderness and care

And let you know your daddy

Forever will be there

(Daughter to Father)

You’re an angel in my arms

And how I love you so

Yet dad the day has come

That you must let me go

Till this song ends please hold me gently

With tenderness and care

And I’ll let you know your daughter

Forever will be the

In my heart I know my angel

Forever will be there
