Wedding Song
I am sure this isn't the right place to post this but I am looking for some help. My son is getting married in a few weeks and he wants me to pick a mother-son dance song. His suggestions so far are Rascal Flatts - My Wish or Taylor Hicks-Do I Make You Proud. While I like both songs I would love to pick a song by one of my favorite troprock artists. Any suggestions?

Re: Wedding Song
for father daughter dance (in case anyone has a daughter getting married) I would suggest "Walk with you" by Edwin Mccain
check it out- if it doesn't make you cry---well you have a heart of stone

Re: Wedding Song
I need a mother & son dance for my son's wedding in August, but he's adamant. No Buffett.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

Re: Wedding Song
I think that Garth Brooks The River is a GREAT song for any wedding parent dance...

Re: Wedding Song
I like the Iz version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." It's what I hope to dance to w/ my son when he gets married (in 20+ years).

Re: Wedding Song
I know it's not trop-rock, but "Child of Mine" by Carole King is a great mother-child song.

I know it's not trop rock, but Carole King's "Child of Mine" is an outstanding mom-kid wedding song.

Re: Wedding Song
Tell him "Sweet Child O mine" by Guns n Roses.
Odds are he'll ask "Doesn't Jimmy have a better song?".

He's very familiar with GnR. Good thing you didn't bet money.

You Child by Peter Mayer
You child everything seems brand new
Nothing can get me through like you child
Some days I wake up and find you gone
Beat of my heart says how long will it be child
Slipped in through my window pane rested on my shoulder
Off you fly and my whole world grows colder
Stay a while won't you child…

my ds used the chorus verse on his wedding invitation...He was raised as a parrothead and attended his first concert when he was 4. Back then they weren't as much of a drunken brawl as they are now. He rebelled somewhere between Jr High and high school.

That being said, he'll attend tailgates when I do and stuff like that. I don't see him going to another concert unless I have the tickets and well.......I've paid enough for Buffett concert tickets. My concert days with Buffett are close to being over. When getting tickets for your family & friends runs dadgum near 1k it's time to see other performers.
