Now I see it every day /And I know that I am the luckiest.

69. “(Simply) The Best” by Tina Turner

Remember this from "Schitt's Creek"? Fans can use Patrick's acoustic version for a slow dance, but the original works well for an energetic, celebratory recessional.

89. “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran

You can't have a wedding without playing Ed Sheeran. A slow-dance to this song would be picture-perfect.

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love / Not knowing what it was / I will not give you up this time

But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own / And in your eyes, you're holding mine

90. "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by Frankie Valli

This song was made for the first dance moment. Valli sings exactly what you'll be thinking as you lock eyes with your new spouse.

At long last love has arrived / And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true / Can't take my eyes off you

91. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

You can't leave this one off of your wedding playlist, either. And if you're planning to choreograph your first dance, the music video offers some major dance inspiration.

So, honey, now / Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars / Place your head on my beating heart

92. "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele

Adele's cover of this classic Bob Dylan song was made for slow-dancing. Feel the love of the moment as you sway to it.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true / Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the earth for you / To make you feel my love

93. “Say You Won’t Let Go” by James Arthur

Celebrate your forever love with this sweet and earnest track. You'll want to keep dancing and never let go.

I knew I loved you then / But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go / I know I needed you

Father-Daughter Dance Songs

If you're celebrating your big day with a sentimental father figure in attendance, you'll need just the right song for this tradition. Here are some ideas for a sweet symbolic sendoff of your inner daddy's girl.

94. "Sweet Pea" by Amos Lee

This is fitting for a father-daughter dance for beginners. Its simple rhythm doesn't call for any fancy footwork, but it's still lots of fun.

Sweet pea / Apple of my eye

Don't know when and I don't know why / You're the only reason I keep on coming home

95. "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder

Weddings can bring up a lot of nostalgia. Pay tribute to your younger years with this classic.

I never thought through love we'd be / Making one as lovely as she / But isn't she lovely made from love?

96. "Daughters" by John Mayer

Is there a more fitting father-daughter dance song? John Mayer's PSA to fathers everywhere is perfect for this day celebrating love.

So fathers, be good to your daughters / Daughters will love like you do

97. "My Girl" by The Temptations

Most of these father-daughter dance songs are pretty slow and serious. For the goofy dads who aren't afraid to dance, this classic is a perfect choice.

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day /When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May

I guess you'd say / What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl

98. "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift

Let Taylor say it for you with this sweet ode to her dad. This song is from her country days, so it jibes well with the many, many country songs written for weddings.

I have an excellent father / His strength is making me stronger

God smiles on my little brother / Inside and out he's better than I am

Mother-Son Dance Songs

For the guy who will always have a special place in his heart for his mother, the mother-son dance is a sweet tradition. Here are some songs that celebrate the mother-son relationship.

99. "I'll Be There" by The Jackson 5

This is a sweet tribute to the woman who has always been there for you. The soulful ballad is one of the Jackson 5's number one hits.

I'll reach out my hand to you / I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

100. "Coming Home" by Leon Bridges

Before your marriage, mom was your number one woman. Honor her with a dance to this slow serenade.

Baby, baby, baby / I'm coming home

To your tender sweet loving / You're my one and only woman

101. "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion 

Celebrating the woman who shaped you into the man you are today is no small thing. This sentimental song from the Canadian powerhouse is up to the task.

You were my strength when I was weak / You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see / You saw the best there was in me

102. "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts

For country lovers who chose Taylor Swift's "The Best Day" for the father-daughter dance, this is a perfect choice for the mother-son dance. The lyrics say everything your mom will be thinking.

You never need to carry more than you can hold / And while you're out there getting where you're getting to

I hope you know somebody loves you / And wants the same things, too

103. "Thank You Mom" by Good Charlotte

A sweet ode to a single mom who did it all. This song was made for mother-son dances.

I said I thank you / I'll always thank you

More than you would know / Than I could ever show

And I love you / I'll always love you
