This year, Father’s Day is being celebrated on Sunday, June 20. We often do something extra to make it a special one for our daddy, from playing his favourite song to treating him to some lip-smacking savouries. To help you make the day a memorable one, we have come up with a list of songs that you can play for your father and enjoy the moment with him.
Here is the list
‘Oh, I love You Daddy’
