Tuesday

I've been playing in wedding bands for ages. Just searched through my email, and these are some of the ones we've played recently.

Best Of My Love (The Emotions)
Forever Now (Michael Buble)
Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Tot Je Weer Van Me Houdt (Bart Peeters)
I Cross My Heart (George Strait)
A Song For Mama (Boyz II Men)
Landslide (Fleetwood Mac)
Days Like This (Van Morrison)
Mom (Garth Brooks)
Blackbird (The Beatles)
Forever Young (Rod Stewart)

My personal opinion is to avoid anything that shows up at the top of search results for "Mother/Son dance", as they're inevitably trite garbage specifically written for such occasions. They're usually called things like "Song For My Son".
