My husband and his mother danced to You'll Be In My Heart at our wedding :) it was especially touching since they had a brief falling out for a few years but made amends once we were engaged and now they're closer than ever. She could hardly stop herself from crying.
My son was born 6 1/2 weeks early. I remember rocking him in the NICU and singing "You'll Be In My Heart" to him. The line in it about the baby being small yet he seems so strong really hit me then.
My son got married last weekend. Our dance was to "A Mother's Love" by Jim Brickman. It was the perfect song for us, and I naturally shed a few tears...
You'll be in my heart is my son for my nephew (he was my 1st born the year I started college we're still stuck to each even now) Boy Mama is a beautiful song too Your song- Ellie Goulding version Somewhere over the rainbow was my husbands and MIL
Searched for the song I wanted to dance with my son to this September at his wedding and the PERFECT song...literally written for this mother/son song for his wedding is "A Song for My Son" by Mikki Viereck. Waltz tempo that's slow enough to feel safe. I am choreographing easy steps for my "less than confident dancer" son. Looking forward to practicing with him so we can surprise his bride and all guests and looking good together. Mostly, he is the only son I will ever share this dance with so it will be wonderful no matter what.
My mom is getting married this April. I misinterpreted this video and didn’t realize that this is for the son’s wedding. Man I’m 18 and I’m not ready to get married yet. My girl and I haven’t even reached a year yet lmao. I’m trying to find songs to save with my mom on HER wedding day lol.
When my oldest married I choose Lennon's "Beautiful Boy"as my son was a huge Beatles fan, this November my younger son is getting married & we will dance to "If I Could" ny Regina Bell because it says all the things Id do for my children if I could!
thank you for giving Black American options, I'm glad I scrolled the comments section! Seeking a song for my brother's wedding for the mom/son dance. Thank you!
Mother/ Son wedding dance songs Do I make you Proud- Taylor Hicks Because you loved me- Celine Dion You Raise me up- Josh Groban Wind beneath my wings- Bette Midler I’ll always be your mom- Aimee Zimmerman Song for Mama- Boys 2 Men I turn to you- Christina Aguilera I got you- Leona Lewis I’ll be- Reba Mcentire Right here waiting- Richard Marx
Ben Platt- In case you don’t live forever. I’m gonna dance to it with my mom at my wedding next year. Hopefully it’s not too awkward cause it’s such a touching song.
My son is getting married in December, and I'm choosing Simple Man by Lynard Skynard. But I will say, that I also like What a Difference You've Made in My Life by Ronnie Milsap.
One married couple I know had Lady Antebellum’s “Never Alone” for their mother-son dance. Good pick. 👍🏻 Also, some version of “Forever Young” seems to be a classic for these events, whether it’s Rod Stewart or other artists.
For me it was “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. It was a song my mom listened to a lot when it first came out, and said how she thought about her children whenever she heard it.
Im going to have my nephew sing "boy" by Lee Brice...its been my song to him since he went away to college....the lyrics describe him to a T!!! He's getting married in June 2024....also "i called Mama" by Tim Mcgraw...
Kid Danger: *wearing his moto pup outfit* the song "You'll be in my heart" ALWAYS reminds me of dancing with Fluttershy at the great galloping gala that she invited me to. I always choke up whenever I hear it and have to sing along to it.
Nope. While I agree with some, you missed some more amazing songs that are perfect. You’re Gonna Be by Reba, Mom by Garth Brooks, and the one I danced with my son at his wedding Her Little Boy by Jami Grooms!
Is there a way you could do Mother/Daughter dance songs? I’m getting married and my father has never been in my life. I love these lists and would love to see one like that!
I suggest “Mom” by Meghan Trainer. I’m in a similar situation as you and that’s been my special song with my Mom that I will use at my wedding one day.
If you’re still looking or if anyone else is looking slipping through my fingers by abba or the mamma Mia musical version is a very sweet mom and daughter song :)
Honestly I known B2m well but somehow I never heard “ mama” song from them. my son getting married in 6 months and that is the song he picks for our dance just yesterday evening! Great song!
I legit find it baffling as to why this list has songs from Taylor Swift on it and not The Perfect Fan by the Backstreet Boys. The Mother/Son dance is supposed to be a moment that acknowledges and honors the mom for what she meant and means to the son. To not include The Perfect Fan is borderline criminal with lines like, "in hopes I can give back to you and be the Perfect Son," and "You showed me, just how to walk without your hands," essentially bursting with love and joy from a son to his mother.
My favorite cover of "Sweet Child Of Mine" has always been the one from the movie Capt Fantastic. My husband danced to "Wind Beneath my wings " with his mom. If you do the daughter/father dances I love the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman

@@lizzybethnj617 I sang that one too for my son.

A Mother's Song is what my youngest son and I danced to. Simply beautiful ♥♥
Phil Collins' song, You'll be in my heart, is one of my favourite Disney songs, and a perfect song to Mom's Day.
It's definitely a beautiful song to show anyone how much you love them! ❤️
My son recently got engaged. I hope to dance to The Man You Have Become, by No Limitz. Perfect song that describes him and our relationship!
This is a beautiful song. It’s so fitting for my son as well. Wishing you and your son the best!

Skynyrd “Simple Man” beautiful lyrics & a great beat.
When my oldest married I choose Lennon's "Beautiful Boy"as my son was a huge Beatles fan, this November my younger son is getting married & we will dance to "If I Could" ny Regina Bell because it says all the things Id do for my children if I could!

I am having so much trouble finding that perfect song.
My husband and his mom danced to A Song For Mama from Soul Food. I danced to Unforgettable with my dad at my wedding

"Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw is on my list for when my sons get married

For your son? Such a corny, overused piece.
Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World was what my son and I danced to.
Ben Platt- In case you don’t live forever. I’m gonna dance to it with my mom at my wedding next year. Hopefully it’s not too awkward cause it’s such a touching song.
I love all of these songs, thanks so much for an emotional list! ❤️
Rascal Flatts was who we chose for my sons wedding. I ended up crying while dancing.
My son is getting married in December, and I'm choosing Simple Man by Lynard Skynard. But I will say, that I also like What a Difference You've Made in My Life by Ronnie Milsap.
“Slow Down” by Nichole Nordeman is a great parent/child slow dance song!
My mom and I are dancing to you’ll be in my heart 😭❤️
One married couple I know had Lady Antebellum’s “Never Alone” for their mother-son dance. Good pick. 👍🏻 Also, some version of “Forever Young” seems to be a classic for these events, whether it’s Rod Stewart or other artists.
"There You'll Be" (2001)
🏔️ Faith Hill
You have me at You’ll Be In My Heart
Thanks for all these suggestions! I have 2 months to pick one 😮 😂
For me it was “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. It was a song my mom listened to a lot when it first came out, and said how she thought about her children whenever she heard it.
Yes! I was thinking of this song!
My daughter and I did a mother daughter dance at her wedding, WE danced to "I hope you Dance"
Her father daughter song was "Butterfly Kisses"
Yes! I used to sing this song to all of my children, and have the music notes/register tattooed on my arm for them ❤
I will be dancing to my mom to simple man which I'm flabbergasted wasn't on this list 😌
Agreed
And for the record it will be the Shinedown version 🙃
my mom just recommended this too!
My son and I are dancing to simple man acoustic in November this year.
We ate too
My Mom and I used to dance to Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker because of his voice and our love for country music!!!
Okay, what about "A Song for Mama" by Boyz II Men? It's my favorite. I even advised my oldest son's roommate to learn to sing the song for his mom.
I forgot Aladdin's Proud of Your Boy. It's in the musical but was cut from the film.
Im going to have my nephew sing "boy" by Lee Brice...its been my song to him since he went away to college....the lyrics describe him to a T!!! He's getting married in June 2024....also "i called Mama" by Tim Mcgraw...
Kid Danger: *wearing his moto pup outfit* the song "You'll be in my heart" ALWAYS reminds me of dancing with Fluttershy at the great galloping gala that she invited me to. I always choke up whenever I hear it and have to sing along to it.
Nope. While I agree with some, you missed some more amazing songs that are perfect. You’re Gonna Be by Reba, Mom by Garth Brooks, and the one I danced with my son at his wedding Her Little Boy by Jami Grooms!
Tarzan introduced me to the legend, Phil Collins.
Thanks! Now I know what song I want to dance with my mom and stepmom on my wedding next year!
Cut the descriptions in half, add slightly longer song clips, and this video would be great.
My mom and I danced to "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago.
I would add Backstreet Boys - The Perfect Fan. Def a great sing for a mother or any parent
Is there a way you could do Mother/Daughter dance songs? I’m getting married and my father has never been in my life. I love these lists and would love to see one like that!
I suggest “Mom” by Meghan Trainer. I’m in a similar situation as you and that’s been my special song with my Mom that I will use at my wedding one day.
My Girl by the Temptations is our song
Mom by Meghan Trainer is good. I also like Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler.
It's probably too late but I danced to Somebody's hero by Jamie O'Neal that's my song that always makes me think of my mom
If you’re still looking or if anyone else is looking slipping through my fingers by abba or the mamma Mia musical version is a very sweet mom and daughter song :)
Thank you for you're recommendations
Glad you like them!
"She's Always in My Hair" by Prince, the lyrics makes me always think of how my mother supports me.
Thank you for doing this after my request! I've always said I'd use Lions, Tigers, and Bears by RILEY on Todrick Hall's album Straight Outta Oz.
Our pleasure, thanks for the great suggestion!
I love Dear Momma by 2Pac
Pretty sad that "A Song for Mama" by B2M wasn't even an honorable mention
Honestly I known B2m well but somehow I never heard “ mama” song from them. my son getting married in 6 months and that is the song he picks for our dance just yesterday evening! Great song!
Twenty years late is absolutely the one for my boy and I.
A Mother's Prayer · Melissa Duvall
I wish this video came out before Mother's Day. 😪 😢

Wow I just heard perfect fan for the first time and I think that song is beautiful- thank you so much ❤❤❤
Love the tarzan song
You will be in my heart always
One I love is "Mama" by B J Thomas
Toby Lightman - Better is the best song for mother son dance.
you'll be in my heart yeah
The best day is my favorite off this list
My favorite cover of "Sweet Child Of Mine" has always been the one from the movie Capt Fantastic. My husband danced to "Wind Beneath my wings " with his mom.
If you do the daughter/father dances I love the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman
That is so cute :)
Garth Brooks- The Dance
Who wouldn't want to dance to
" love is in bloom " at their wedding
Tarzan is my favorite Disney movie because it's the best Movies/Son story
Dancing to Carol King’s “Child of Mine.”
While Beautiful Boy is very moving, Hey Jude's backstory highlights the sadness of Lennon's first son Julian that he neglected.
What I never knew I always wanted by carrie underwood is beautiful too
The Perfect Fan by Backstreet Boys should have made this list or at least honorable mentions
Yes. Especially since Brian said it was about his Mom.
I'ma do simple man by Shinedown
Child of Mine, Carole King. PERFECT!
I really thought that Boyz II Men's "A Song For Mama" would have been on the list, let alone be number one. Or even Spice Girl's "Mama".
We picked Elvis' "The wonder of you"
Make a top 10 best celebrities in Danny Phantom.
The fact that “Mom” by Garth Brooks didn’t even make the honorable mentions, much less the list is a crime…
I agree
Cyndi Lauper I want to Mum that will last forever
Rugrats In Paris come on
Sweet Child of Mine, Guns n Roses version all the way!
This list is lame.
Where's Boyz II Men - "Song for Mama?"
Another good one is "Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift.... that song!!!
You forgot "A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men and "The Perfect Fan" by The Backstreet Boys.
Are you insane?
I'm not crazy about Cilene.. But the song ' I hope you dance' is next song for a mom son dance.
I remember "Beautiful Boy" playing during "Mr. Peabody & Sherman".
We chose Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyard.
Forever Young by Rod Stewart
Good
These are all sentimental Where's 'Shop Around' by Smokey Robinson? Upbeat and fun and about a man listening to his mother's relationship advice
Can she have this dance - drew baldridge ❤❤
Then They Do - Trace Adkins
The list should be called best country songs
My only son is getting married in October 2024 I am on here looking for a song for us to dance to Idk which song to pick
My son is getting married in October this year, as well! We are thinking about, Billy Joel’s “Love You Just the Way You Are.”
You know I think it's a mistake not to mention The Perfect Fan by the Backstreet Boys
how about bride and father ? next pls!
Less talking, and just let music play. We can hear lyrics
The song beautiful boy would be perfect if it weren’t for the lyrics “the monsters gone he’s on the run and your DADDIES here”
There is a "Your mommy's here" version too.
What about Mama from BoyzIIMen?
Videos of moms and sons dancing at weddings
What about Garth Brooks-Mom????
We danced to LeAnn Womack I hope you dance
No boyz 2 men a song for mama
