A song and dance over a daughter (6)
I believe the answer is:
ballad
'a song' is the definition.
(ballad is a kind of song)
'dance over a daughter' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'a daughter' becomes 'ad' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ball'+'ad'='BALLAD'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for ballad that I've seen before include "Song type" , "Song that tells a story" , "Narrative poem or song" , "Poem telling a story" , "romance" .)
