Parent Dance Songs to Consider

We’ve seen quite a few mother/son, father/daughter, and other parent dances in our time. Despite the prevalence of weddings everywhere in the world, a good parent dance song is kinda hard to fine. When considering lyrics, something as cute as “Brown Eyed Girl” can get awkward quickly if the DJ doesn’t cut it before the last verse! So, we’ve complied a list of the best songs we’ve heard so far for you to consider…

  1. You’re My Best Friend by Queen

  2. When You Need Me by Bruce Springsteen

  3. You’ll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins

  4. You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne

  5. (They Long To Be) Close to You by The Carpenters

  6. My Wish by Rascal Flatts

  7. Father and Daughter by Paul Simon

  8. Dance with My Daughter by Jason Blaine 

  9. Just Breathe by Pearl Jam

  10. You’re Gunna Be by Reba McEntire

  11. I Loved Her First by Heartland

  12. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

  13. Vienna by Billy Joel

  14. A Song For Mama by Boyz II Men

  15. Boy by Lee Brice

  16. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough b y Marvin Gaye

  17. Stand By Me by Ben E King

  18. My Girl by The Temptations

  19. Mother by Michael Bublé

  20. Dance Like Yo Daddy by Meghan Trainor (a VERY upbeat song which would be best for a Father/Daughter duo that want to jump start the dance floor)
