I need help thinking of a parent's dance song!
We are having groom/mother and bride /father dance at the same time.
Any suggestions?

When our brides ask us this question, we always recommend "Shower the People" (James Taylor). Brides ALWAYS comment afterwards that the song was PERFECT.
This is especially true since your parents are probably James Taylor fans (or at least know of him since he's been around a while).
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, dont think twice
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

lol, I'm not sure what fiance would think about that one!
I found this one so far: Jamie Cullum - "These are the Days." It seems appropriate.
My fiance really wants "Landslide," but the Smashing Pumpkins version.

OK, I have a suggestion: The song "Heavenly Day" by Patty Griffin. It is a perfect wedding song, it doesn't talk about being in love with the person so I think it works for a parents song, and I think I will use it too! Here are the lyrics:
"Heavenly Day"
Oh heavenly day, all the clouds blew away
Got no trouble today with anyone
The smile on your face I live only to see
It's enough for me, baby, it's enough for me
Oh, heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
Tomorrow may rain with sorrow
Here's a little time we can borrow
Forget all our troubles in these moments so few
All we've got right now, the only thing that
All we really have to do
Is have ourselves a heavenly day
Lay here and watch the trees sway
Oh, can't see no other way, no way, no way
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
No one at my shoulder bringing me fears
Got no clouds up above me bringing me tears
Got nothing to tell you, I've got nothing much to say
Only I'm glad to be here with you
On this heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Heavenly day, all the trouble's gone away
Oh, for a while anyway, for a while anyway
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day

We did the combined dance as well and used John Mayers song "Daughters". Very fitting IMO. The song still kind of tears me up...
