Need ideas for a song

Question

that would be good to use for a combination fater/daughter & mother/son dance.

I had already suggested "Sunrise/Sunset", but, he veto'd that. Are there any other songs that are about parents & their kids?

Answer 1

"Forever Young" would work

Answer 2

Babs, I totally LOVE Sunrise/Sunset.  "Is this the little girl I carried... Is this the little boy at play... I don't remember growing older, when did they?"  it is a beautiful song.  I die for that song.  

The only other song I can think of is Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin.  But do reconsider Sunrise Sunset.  

Babs, I do like your taste.  Mazel Tov.  

Answer 3

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

Answer 4

Try out Kenny Rankin's "What Matter's Most"~~it was written by the same people who wrote "The Way We Were" and his version is quite good.

Answer 5

i swear this one makes me cry

kenny chesney, there goes my life

its about a man and he has a baby, n he thinks his life is over and sings there goes my life but if the end shes all grew up n got married n when she leaves he sings there goes my life, saying the mistake he thought he made wasnt, heres the lyrics

All he could think about was I'm too young for this.

Got my whole life ahead.

h**l I'm just a kid myself.

How'm I gonna raise one.

All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.

So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.

Oh well, those plans are long gone.

[Chorus:]

And he said,

There goes my life.

There goes my future, my everything.

Might as well kiss it all good-bye.

There goes my life.......

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.

That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.

Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl.

Momma's waiting to tuck her in,

As she fumbles up those stairs.

She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.

Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls.

[Chorus:]

He smiles.....

There goes my life.

There goes my future, my everything.

I love you, daddy good-night.

There goes my life.

She had that Honda loaded down.

With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express.

He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go.

She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast.

[Chorus:]

And he cried,

There goes my life.

There goes my future, my everything.

I love you.

Baby good-bye.

There goes my life.

There goes my life.

Baby good-bye.
