Song for my Mothers funeral?

My mom died yesterday morning after a long battle with cancer and I need some help finding a mother/daughter song to play at the funeral. She loved Elvis and so she wanted all of the songs to be from Elvis' gospel CD but I know he doesn't have a mother/daughter song and I had one in mind but now I can't remember who sings it or how it goes. I was thinking Reba sang it but I'm so blank now. If anyone can please help me and my sister would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    I'm so sorry for your loss; God's peace be with you and your family. I wish I could help you with the Reba song, but the only mother-daughter song she sings that comes to mind is "Fancy," and I'm sure that's not it.

    But I'm posting a few other songs with lyrics (including one by Reba) that you might take a look at or listen to over the net. I apologize for the long post, but I thought you might like to have the lyrics here without having to search all over for them. I hope you find one that will help express your heart for your mom.

    Martina McBride -- In my Daughter's Eyes

    In my daughter's eyes

    I am a hero I am strong and wise

    And I know no fear

    But the truth is plain to see

    She was sent to rescue me

    I see who I want to be

    In my daughter's eyes

    In my daughter's eyes

    Everyone is equal

    Darkness turns to light

    And the world is at peace

    This miracle God gave to me

    Gives me strength when I am weak

    I find reason to believe

    In my daughter's eyes

    And when she wraps her hand

    around my finger

    Oh, It puts a smile in my heart

    Everything becomes a little clearer

    I realize what life is all about

    It's hanging on when your heart

    Has had enough

    It's giving more when you feel

    Like giving up

    I've seen the light

    It's in my daughter's eyes

    In my daughter's eyes

    I can see the future

    A reflection of who I am

    And what will be

    And though she'll grow

    And someday leave

    Maybe raise a family

    When I'm gone I hope you see

    How happy she made me

    For I'll be there

    In my daughter's eyes

    Bette Midler -- My One True Friend lyrics

    And now, is it too late to say

    How you made my life so different in your quiet way?

    I can see the joy in simple things,

    a sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.

    I have walked and I have I prayed.

    I could forgive and we could start again.

    In the end,

    you are my one true friend.

    For all, all the times you closed your eyes,

    allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,

    by life, with all its twists and turns.

    I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn.

    And when I left, it's you who stayed.

    You always knew that I'd come home again.

    In the end,

    you are my one true friend.

    Though love may break, it never dies.

    It changes shape, through changing eyes.

    What I denied, I now can see.

    You always were the light inside of me.

    I know, I know, I know, I know it was you.

    I have walked and I have I prayed.

    I could forgive and we could start again.

    In the end, you are my one true friend.

    My one true friend.

    I always, always knew,

    I always knew that it was you,

    my one true friend.

    Celine Dion - Goodbyes The Saddest Word.

    Mamma

    You gave life to me

    Turned a baby into a lady

    and

    Mamma

    All you had to offer

    Was the promise of a lifetime of love

    Now I know

    There is no other

    Love like a mother's love for her child

    And I know

    A love so complete

    Someday must leave

    Must say goodbye

    Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

    Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

    Someday you'll say that word and I will cry

    It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

    Mamma

    You gave love to me

    Turned a young one into a woman

    and

    Mamma

    All I ever needed

    Was a guarantee of you loving me

    'Cause I know

    There is no other

    Love like a mother's love for her child

    And it hurts so

    That something so strong

    Someday will be gone, must say goodbye

    Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

    Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

    Someday you'll say that word and I will cry

    It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

    But the love you gave me will always live

    You'll always be there every time I call

    You offered me the greatest love of all

    You take my weakness and you make me strong

    And I will always love you 'til forever comes

    And when you need me

    I'll be there for you all the way

    I'll be there all life through

    I'll be there this I guarantee

    Mamma, I'll be

    I'll be there through the darkest nights

    I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight

    I'll be your shelter through the raging storm

    And I will love you 'till forever comes

    Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear

    Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near

    Someday you'll say that word and I will cry

    It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

    'Till we meet again...

    Until then...

    Goodbye

    I'll Be

    Reba McEntire

    When darkness falls upon your heart and soul.

    I'll be the light that shines for you.

    When you forget how beautiful you are

    I'll be there to remind you.

    When you can't find your way,

    I'll find my way to you.

    When troubles come around,

    I will come to you.

    I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.

    Be your shelter.

    When you need someone to see you through.

    I'll be there to carry you.

    I'll be there.

    I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.

    The one that will hold on to you.

    When you feel that rain falling down.
