 Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Dear Musicals.Net Posters, I'm trying to find as many (fairly positive, or at least hopeful) musical theatre songs about mothers in time for Mother's Day, and I HOPE that I have (on c.d.) more than a few of those that will become part of the list that I'm trying to make! I'll more than likely have to list some songs that are sung BY characters who ARE themselves mothers, and/ or some humorous songs, during which mother characters interact with their kids. The songs that I'VE thought of so far are as follows: * "Mamma A Rainbow" from "Minnie's Boys" * "If Mama Was Married" from "Gypsy" * "Baby Mine" from "Dumbo" I truly believe that the end result of the list will be heart-warming and sweet. Thank you in advance for your replies, and for any assistance that you might be able to give to me.

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? "Mama was an axe murderer" probably won't make the list.
At least this year.

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Don't think "My Mother's Wedding Day" from Brigadoon is appropriate either. lol

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Mother's Day, cut from Gypsy but included on the 2008 recording.

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? I thought of:
"Slipping through My Fingers" from "Mamma Mia."
"I'd Give My Life For You" from "Miss Saigon."

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Dear Musicals.Net Posters, Thank you for your suggestions! I'll be able to add some of them to the song list, and that will make a certain Mother's Day surprise super cool for me, and for my mother, of course! Thanks in advance for your replies, and have a happy Mother's Day!

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? I was going to suggest "Mama, a Rainbow," but that was already in the first post. Pretty song. I should learn it.

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Several from Richard Rodgers' last show, I REMEMBER MAMA: http://www.amazon.com/Remember-Mama-198 ... 08&sr=8-26"I Remember Mama", "Ev'ry Day Comes Something Beautiful", "Mama Always Makes It Better" and "A Little Bit More" Also you may consider "One Foot, Other Foot" from Allegro, about learning to walk

Re: Any other songs about mothers for Mother's Day? Maybe "The Glamorous Life" from "Little Night Music"? Love that song, though, so I might just be bias :p
