good song for a dance with my mom, who is battling cancer

Stand by me :]

Sorry i know that isnt the song but i think it might be a good alternative if you dont find it

If you don't mind country, Love Can Build A Bridge by the Judds might work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KMriSdmr5I (sorry for the dated music video)

I want to suggest something that is outside of the box. Most people feel there are rules or boundaries to what you can do at a Wedding. The best message you can send to your Mom would be a message sent in your own words. Pick out a great song like "I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders or something like it. Then, we actually extend the beginning instrumental of the song, by using a song's instrumental version and/or looping capabilities, to about 30-60 seconds. Then we record a message (30-60 seconds in length) from the Bride and/or Groom and embed it into this beginning part of the song. As soon as your message is complete, we time the vocals from the song to begin seamlessly within a couple of seconds. This will easily become one of the highlights of your Wedding, and be so special to your Mom. Let us know if we can help. (BTW - our selected charitable organization for 2009 is Susan G. Komen

I'm so sorry about your mom, I will pray for the best for her. I don't know if you are a fan but if you are looking for something that is about a mother daughter realtionship Taylor Swift has this song called "Best Day". It takes you through the years starting from when she was 5 to being grown up and talks about how her mom has always been there and how greatful she is. The chorus goes "I had the best day with you today". I love it! I'm going to make a special DVD with pictures on it to this song and give it to my Mom before the wedding to say thank you for all she has done/does all the time. Then I'm going to surprise her with a dance to it at the reception. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=memsP8-k5Ew that is a link to the song with the lyrics.

I'm so sorry about your mom. did you ever hear the song "She's Somebody's Hero" it's a great song and i think your mom will love this song to dance with you. i know it brings tears to my mom's eyes.

"She's Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal

She's never pulled anyone from a burning building

She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name

She's never hit a shot to win the game

She's never left her footprints on the moon

She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,

No, she's just your everyday average girl (but)

She's somebody's hero

A hero to her baby with a skinned up knee

A little kiss is all she needs

The keeper of the cheerios

The voice that brings Snow White to life

Bedtime stories every night

And that smile lets her know

She's somebody's hero

oh oh

She didn't get a check every week like a nine-to fiver

But she's been a waiter, and a cook and a taxi driver

For twenty years, there at home, until the day her girl was grown

Giving all her love to her was her life's ambition

But now her baby's movin' on, and she'll soon be missin' her

But not today, those are tears of joy runnin' down her face

Chorus

Check this song out its beautiful i am looking for a song as well.

Dammit, every time I hear that Jaime O'Neal song (or apparently READ the lyrics) I get choked up! I'm having a combined dance - first me and Mom and then me with my stepdad, so that song wont work. But if it were just me and Mom, I would definitely use that. I like the idea of the photo DVD, maybe I'll do that...

Thank you so much everyone, I really like all the songs, I have a few in mind now, I would really like something that is heartfelt, i know we will both probably be crying, but hey thats ok.....I really like DJ to YOU idea, if I am understanding right I could say a little speech and it could be recorded in the first part of the song, and then playied as we dance, since I know I will not have the strength to say it myself at that moment......anyother time no problem

Glad you like the idea. We do it with Brides and Grooms to each other all the time, as well as Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances. The best way you could do this is to actually talk to your Mom in the first person rather than making it a narrative. This would make it very special to your Mom. Does your DJ service offer this type of customization? Call us if we can answer any other questions for you. You can have your DJ give us a call if you would like as well. Thanks, Kevin

In the arms of an angel- sarah mcglaughin (spelt wrong, so sorry.)

I like bette midler song from beaches. wind beneath my wings. i will be dancing to that song with my mother

Kevin, I am not sure if the DJ knows how to do this or not, I will try to contact him but it may take a week or so, I am traveling up from AR, to MN then Upper Michigan ( where we are getting married ) sorry long story...I will take down your info that I can find on the site, to contact you! Thanks sooo much!

In my daughters eyes by martina mcbride search it on utube its beautiful

There's a really good song that comes to mind called "Tough" by Craig Morgan. I LOVE it!

This isn't exactly a mom/daughter song, but I've always loved it and recently it was on So You Think You Can Dance, and the dance was a about a woman with breast cancer and OMG I was bawling watching it. It's such a sweet song. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the place!

How about a classic, like Over the Rainbow or What a Wonderful World?

I know what your going through I've been there. Hang in there I know it's tough. I'll be praying for you and your mom. If I had the chance to dance with my mom at my wedding it would be to Did you ever know that your my hero and Wind beneath my wings. That's what my mom meant to me and still does.
