Suggestions for father/bride & mother/groom dances?

FH and I are both having a very hard time finding a song for our father/daughter dance and mother/son dance. We both are close with our parents, but don't want anything too 'mushy' or 'cheesy.' I'm definitely NOT 'Daddy's little girl!' A lot of the traditional songs just don't seem to fit. Any suggestions?

I'm doing Daddy's Little Girl for me and my dad (obviously) because that's what he's always wanted...

For me and my mom, we're doing Taylor Hicks' 'Do I Make You Proud?' which fatefully came along right at the perfect time!

For my mom and I....Your Song..by Elton John (she loves Elton) and my FI is dancing to I am Your Child by Barry Manilow with his mom

Re: Suggestions for father/bride & mother/groom dances?

for you and your daddy, what about Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder. I love that song, but I want a mushy song, bc I totally am a Daddy's Girl.

Mom & Groom - Sorry, No idea.

Re: Suggestions for father/bride & mother/groom dances?

My FH chose 'You are the sunshine of my life' by Stevie Wonder. he is the baby of the family and total 'apple of his mom's eye'

Its not a sappy beat either so it'll be fun to see them dance to it!

Re: Suggestions for father/bride & mother/groom dances?

My father and I danced to 'The Wonder of You' by Elvis (he's a big Elvis fan).
And my husband and his mom danced to Rod Stewart's song, 'Forever Young' (we had the band slow the tempo a bit).
