Mother/Son song suggestions please....

michele17

Im having a difficult time trying to find an appropriate song to dance with my godmother to.  My mother passed away 6 years ago, and I am trying to find a song with lyrics that speak less about the perfect man I have bedome, but more about how it really is.... even though you're not here, you are still in my heart.  Any suggestions would really help.  Thanks.

Not quite sure what your style of music is, but Song For Mama by Boyz 2 Men is one that I thought of right away.
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
You'll Be in My Heart - Phil Collins

Sorry I'm not much help. That's all I could think of.

"You'll Be In My Heart" immediately comes to mind.  PP mentioned it, it's sung by Phil Collins, was in the animated film "Tarzan".  Here's a YouTube link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkokofW_3u8" rel="nofollow">click</a>

Another suggestion is Faith Hill's "There You'll Be".  Here's a YouTube link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOnDnk6mP-4" rel="nofollow">click</a>

There's also a Rodgers & Hammerstein song from the musical <em>Carousel</em> called "You'll Never Walk Alone".  It's been done by a lot of artists (including Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Barbra Streisand) so you'd have to find the version that suits you.
