Looking for a Mother/Son wedding dance song for a son who has been an amazing child and the greatest blessing of my life
If you like country, I really like "I Can Love You" by Gary Allan. Not a single, but very good.
If you want something everyone will know, I second "Wing Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler.
Congratulations!!!
My hubby and his mom danced to 'Lean on Me.' (Bill Withers?) It was beautiful, and easy to dance to. Congrats!
Beautiful Boy - John Lennon
In My Life - The Beatles
Your Song - Elton John
A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Congrats!
Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. Hands down.
"Mama" - Boyz to Men (it's R&B but it's beautiful. my husband (ex now ha ha) danced w/his mom to this song at our wedding)
Wind Beneath My Wings
I didn't check others these are just my favorites:
I Hope You Dance - Leeann Womack
Beautiful Boy - John Lennon
Just was at one where they danced to The song from Pete's Dragon by Helen Reddy.
You'll be in my heart - Mother-Son song from Disney's Tarzan
Congratulations!!!!
"inspiration" by chicago
"I'll Stand by You" from the Pretenders
"Because You Loved Me" Celine Dion
"What a Wonderful World" Louie Armstrong
"Stand by Me" (the original)
"You Raise Me Up" Josh Groban
My dad and I danced to "Danny Boy" because it has special meaning in our family - that could be apropos for a mother/son too.
What a fun task - I will hopefully be mother of the groom 3x (no MOB for me) and as I hear songs I make mental notes about what I can suggest if those wonderful days ever come - have fun and congrats!
Sun Rise Sun Set from Fiddler On The Roof
Blessings....
There's a beautiful song on the CD "All the Road Running" by Emmy Lou Harris and Mark Knopfler call "Love and Happiness". The first time I heard it I knew it was going to be our dance.
Celine Dions Miracle
The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face
How very sweet and many blessings for your son's wedding.
At my wedding, my husband danced with his mother to the song "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole. There is a version with Natalie Cole as well.
This past weekend, I was at my cousin's wedding and he danced with his mom to, "The way you look tonight" by Frank Sinatra
Another thought would be Rod Stewart's version of "Have I told you lately".
Good luck!
My hubby and I danced with our parents at the same time and used this song by Stevie wonder. It was beautiful! These three words, youtube it so you can listen to it, it was really pretty and just perfect. I didn't even look at a song for both of us to use, it just worked out that way!
These three words!
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you'd say I know this can't be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them "i love you"
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you'd give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through your tears you'd ask why did you go
Knowing you'd didn't always show
Just how much you loved them so
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Short and kind
These three words
Always kindles
An aching heart to smile inside
You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me - Gladys Knight & the Pips
In My Life - The Beatles
I wish I could remember what my husband and MIL did their dance to, man it was only 7 years ago! Congrats to your son.
"A Song For My Son!" It was written to be a wedding song from the mom!
I second" I hope you dance" leeann womack. A few wks before my mama died she told me she always thought of me when she heard. Its not girly but a very hopeful song. Of course it touches my heart every time I hear it!
"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womak
We did a parent/child dance to this song. I danced with my dad, and my husband danced with his mom.
Oh, definitely "A song for my son." Love that song. "You will always be my son, my loving son..." Listen to it on youtube.

My husband and his mom danced to A Wonderful World at our wedding and it was awesome.

"She Believes in Me" - Kenny Rogers
