A silly survey IHO mother's day

I realize our babies are not even a year yet but I was thinking about this tonight while giving Charlie his bath (my mind wanders).
If you had to choose a song right now that you would dance to with your son (or your H would dance to with your daughter) at their wedding, years from now, what would you choose?
If you have an older LO, you can pick for that one too!

Re: A silly survey IHO mother's day
Oh gosh, I don't know! I danced with my dad to "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac at my wedding and it was perfect.
DH danced with his mom to "In My Life" by The Beatles. I might pick that song. I like the lyrics.
The two men in my life. Oh, and I have a husband too...
Both good songs! Jimmy and my first dance was to a Fleetwood Mac song! (Songbird).
And my sister danced with my dad to "In My Life". It's a beautiful song so that works!
"What a wonderful world" by good ol' Louis Armstrong.
I think DH and DD will dance to that
ETA: Dammit now I'm feeling all these emotions
Oh and to answer my own question: I would pick Dream a Little Dream Of Me by The Mama's & The Papa's.
I sang it to Charlie when he was in my belly, and I sing it to him now and dance with him.
Ditto this.
Ok: full disclosure. I always put music on while giving Charlie his bath and Cat Steven's "Father & Son" came on and I was getting teary!
Which then made me think of him growing up, and being a man and... yeah I was basically bathing him in my own tears.
The only one that I can think of now is Zion by Lauryn Hill. When DS was only a couple weeks, I started singing this to him b/c Colin fits in perfect for her son's name.
I'll probably change my mind, though. It's not really a wedding song.
This, and In My Life are both great! I also really like the Stevie Wonder song, "You are the Sunshine of My Life" (that was the song my dad and I danced to).
Oh that's another great classic. Seriously I'm feeling all teary over this. Thanks Sodelish. And Beccs.
I don't want to think of this. [covers ears with hands] LaLaLa
Fer serious though, when DS is having a rough night and I'm frustrated with him I rock/nurse him and remind myself of all the fun things we will do when he is bigger. I just remind myself that if we can make it through this part it will get so much better.
Our son will be the song he was born to: Take a Breath by Dave Gilmour
Take a breath
Take a deep breath nowTake a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breathWhen you're down is where you find yourself
When you're drown there's nothing else
If you're lost you'll need to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no one elseTo make the moves that you can do
When you fall from grace your eyes in blue
Your every breath becomes another world
And the far horizon's living hellTake a breath
A deep breath nowThis kind of love is hard to find
I never got to you by being kind
If I'm the one to throw you overboard
At least I showed you how to swim for shoreWhen you're down is where you'll know yourself
Then if you're drown there's nothing else
When you're lost you need to find yourself
Then you'll find out that there's no one else
Me too. I'm high on cold medicine and I think it's making me especially weepy.
I could NEVER dance to this song. I cry just thinking about it, there's no way I could dance to it in front of people.
I just searched this on youtube because I don't know it and I'm sitting here crying. THANKS! :P
This was going to be my H and my song for when we walked/danced into our reception! I love it.
My kid isn't getting married. PERIOD.
I love it!
My dad and I danced to Sinatra, so I'm a fan of the old school.
Love that song!
This, definitely this. Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynryd.

Lucy and my song is Umbrella, I know it's silly but read the lyrics. It could totally be a mother daughter song!
It makes me cry when I hear it now.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Suuuuper late to this but I have a really good answer for this one!
My song for Donovan has always been My Wish by Rascal Flatts - I used to sing this to him when he was a baby all the time and he sings it with me now.
Dammit now I'm drunk & crying.
For Luke probably either Beautiful Boy by John Lennon or I'll Be There by the Jackson 5.
That is a great song!
Late to it too, but I had to add to the convo becuase I think about this all the time.
Already picked out H's Father Daughter dance song for whichever of my girls marries first- "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon. I guess they played it on the Wild Thornberrys Movie, its on Sirius 'Kids Place Live' all the time. I love it! I am actually making a Father's Day compilation for him, and it is the first song on the play list.
