5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to hear the song..., December 9, 2004

By	J.J. Smith - See all my reviews

It's too bad that Amazon.com doesn't provide song clips for independent lables. This is a really nice song, but to hear it, you have to do what I did and go to new-wedding-traditions.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love in a song from mother to son, January 25, 2003

By A Customer

I have to tell the story of how I found out about this song.
I was sitting on a bus on my way to work and I over heard two ladies talking about a special song for the mother groom wedding dance. I didn't mean to listen in to their conversation but the night before my wife was crying her eyes out because she said there was no special song for her wedding dance with my son.
(the wedding was just a month away).
After listening to the conversation for a few minutes I had to ask the ladies what they were talking about. I explained what my wife was going through. Those nice ladies told me that they were talking about "A Song For My Son" They said it is the first song that was ever written for mothers and grooms and every mom who hears it loves it.
I asked them how I could get the song and they promised to bring the informaiton to the bus stop the next day. And they did.
I surprised my wife with this CD just a few days before the wedding and I wish I could bottle the happiness on her face when she heard it. All I can say is this song made the difference. It gave us all a moment that will be in our hearts forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a special song for mother/ groom dance, November 4, 2004

By	C. Pearson "Texas DJ" (Fort Worth, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard this song on the Today Show and I remember that day I said to myself this song is going to be a big hit with mother's of grooms. I knew that because I am a DJ  and worked over the years at hundreds of weddings and moms always asked for a special song for their mother gr
oom dance. Until this song I really had nothing special to suggest. It's been a while since I first heard this song on The Today Show and just as I thought it has become  hugely popular with mothers of grooms.

The only problem I ran into was that there are now a few other versions of this song floating around out there that are not the original.  This one is the original and this is the one you will want to get because the quality and singers and sound are excellent. If you need to hear a sample of this CD go to newweddingtraditions.com. You will find all the original New Traditions songs samples on this web site. I highly recommend this CD for any Mom whose son is getting married -but if you are getting the single be sure to get the CD with both the country and traditional versions on it which is the one here on amazon.com-
it's the original, and its great.
