Mother and Son Songs for Weddings, Dances, Birthdays & Other Celebrations

Here you'll find a list of mother son songs; I'm always adding songs, and you can add to the list as well....

As a Mom of four boys and two stepsons, I can sincerely say, "there are no words to describe a mother's love". However, there are several mother son songs that will bring a tear to your eye.

Being a writer of poetry and song lyrics, I've penned about many topics, but I have to say that trying to find the words to capture my love for my children has been the toughest writing missions I've ever tackled. I've written a few poems for my sons, but am still chasing the ideal descriptive words. Feel free to follow me, Poems and Lyrics on Twitter; then add your favorite lines, poems or even link to your favorite songs. In the meantime, there are so many beautiful songs to appreciate. So here are some of my personal choices (just below).

Mother Son Songs

Various Genres (for Country Mother Son Songs see below)

If I Could by Barbra Streisand: Get ready to shed a tear or two! What an incredible song. These lyrics are beautifully descriptive. Apparently Barbra Streisand dedicated this song to her son. The lyrics just give me goose-bumps...."but the part of life I gave you isn't mine, I've watch you grow so I could let you go...If I could, I would help you make it through those hungry years, but I know that I could never cry your tears, but I would, if I could" - Tell me, is that not what a mother feels - this one is close to perfect, and my personal fave.

You Are Loved (Don't Give Up) by Josh Groban: Although this is sung in a males voice, the lyrics are ideal for a Mom wanting to express unconditional love and inspirational encouragement. In my own personal opinion, this song is not a great selection for a wedding song, however it's perfect for a situation when Mom wants to show her undying support.

I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You, by Savage Garden: Again, these lyrics are sung in a males voice, but the lyrics can be interpreted as what a mother feels when she's expecting her child. This song could certainly be used for a wedding dance between mom and son, but it also makes a great dedication for other special occasions.

The Man You've Become sung by Molly Pasutti:This song has clear, crisp words that tell of a mother's love for son as he's grown from a little boy to the man he is today. The lyrics are direct with very little use of metaphors leaving the listener with a precise description of a mother's love for her son. Again, this is a perfect Mother Son Wedding Song.

A Song for Mama by Boyz 2 Men: If a son is looking for a song to dedicate to his mother, then this song should make the short list. The words are the perfect thank you to bring a mom to happy tears. What a selection for Mother's Day!

You Are My Sunshine: Well this classic is perfect to describe the love between Mother and Son. I know, because I would sing this at bedtime to all my boys and as the years went on they kindly said, "be quiet mom!".

This Is Your Song: Ronan Keating sings this beautiful, incredible, and moving dedication to his mother. The song will bring you to tears. I came upon it quite by accident, and being a mom of sons, it touched me deeply.

Here are each of the songs mentioned above, available for individual download:

Beautiful Boy by Celine Dion

Celine Dion's Version is absolutely gorgeous as well - If you would rather hear it with a female voice, for mother and son purposes, Celine Dion really does the song justice.

My Personal Pick for Top Mother & Son Country Songs

My Wish by Rascal Flatts: This song will give you goosebumps so get ready! The lyrics are a great message from mom expressing her wish for her son.."if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile, but more than anything, my wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it too.." - A great song for mom to dedicate to her son on graduation day, or any other major stepping stone in his life.

I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womak: One of the best country songs ever written. The words in this song will live on forever..."and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance". The words are great choice for wedding if mom wants to share advice and dreams with son.

A Mother's Song by TCarterMusic.com: If you're looking for simple song, with words that speak directly of the love, hope and advice a mother has for her son, then this would be a great pick. The country tone in this song almost comes across as a folk song, and the words make this song a good selection for a mother son wedding dance.

Here are two of the Mother Son Country Songs listed above, available for individual download:

Lovely Country Feel to this Song

Another Great Wedding Song for Mom & Son

The words express thanks and gratefulness from Son to Mom. The son speaks about thanks on how mom taught him how to give and how to be a man, and he hopes he made her proud. The person he's become, and all he is, he says he owes it all to his family, his friends, his mom. Yes, you may cry listening to this.

The Perfect Fan by the Backstreet Boys

Very moving, you'll cry!

Terrific choice for a mother son wedding dance. Another one that will open the flood gates! The song speaks of mom's support throughout the years. It speaks about a son appreciating how his mom showed him how to walk without her hands, and she's always been the perfect fan.

Mother of Mine

Simply Moving!

If you have young sons, get the tissues ready because this song will touch your heart. In fact, don't listen to it if you're feeling overly sentimental at the moment, the flood gates may open. Even though it's a song dating back to 1971 there's something about this little boys young voice...perhaps it's the sheer innocence.

Mother & Son Print

i really loved your lens i wish with all my heart that i would have had the chance to have raised a son myself it was beautiful thank you for posting it Wonderfull lens. I remember my mother singing to me a very sad song about a litle girl who was left alone after her mother and father were killed in a car accident (ok it sounds cruel but it is a beautifull - educational song).

Never crosed a road untill look on boath sides twice ever since. great lense The bluegrass version of "Baby of Mine." I rocked my son to it all the time. :) I still love Brahm's lullaby, too. Nice video. Great lens ! Nice list of mother and sons songs. Do you have father and sons?
Thanks
< href="http://filipinofolksongsatbp.blogspot.com"title="Folk Song"> Great page! I will have to share this with my family! Thanks for the great hub! As a child development researcher/author and mom of 3 boys I really enjoy finding more helpful ways to celebrate the relationship between moms and boys. Here is an article I wrote if you are interested called Parenting Boys: What Boys Need From A Mom http://kelleyward.hubpages.com/hub/Parenting-Boys-What-Boys-Need-From-Moms Lots of great songs you've selected. Lyrics from Somewhere Out There "Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight" I would remind my son during some pretty shaky times (bad custody battle) Very nice collection of the mother son songs. I enjoyed it. Thanks:) blessed by a squid angel :) <3 Wonderful selection of mother and son songs. Just added a song suggestion to my recent FB thread; wondering whether you have heard the song, Mother of Mine? I especially love the song "You Are Loved" by Josh Groban. Lovely lens :) I listened to every song you shared; many I knew, many were new to me. Excellent song choices for this mother and son. I shared the Josh Groban (You are Loved) tune on my son's Facebook profile today! And I have featured this lens on my Mother Son Love Story lens. Blessings and a bit o' sunshine! Another great lens by you. I love your Father and Son songs lens too. Cute, thumbs up! This is nice! I added it to my Top 10 Wedding Songs of All Time. ~ Blessed! Beautiful lens! Thank you for sharing :). Beautiful lens...For a mom to be able to see her son having her own family it can be both happy and sad. Mixed emotions knowing that her boy will be separated from him and songs can be one of the medium that could say everything she has in her heart.

Tina @ wedding favors That's the beauty you just cant say no...child mostly loves mother more, dads must understand, shouldn't feel jealous.
