Does anyone know if there are any good Bway songs about mothers? (My mom's birthday is coming up.)

Does "Kyle's Mom's a Big, Fat B*tch" count?

If you can't find any good Bway "Mom" songs, "Mama" by the Spice Girls is always a nice one to use.

How about "When Your Good To Mama" from Chicago?

Well at least it has the word mom in it.

"Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd doesn't really have anything to do with Mom, but the whole "Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around..." thing is kinda sweet, and if you wanna be funny about it "There's Always a Woman" from Anyone Can Whistle is a killer... hell do a Sondheim medley for Mom!

"Momma, A Rainbow" is a beautiful song.

"Momma, Momma" - from Most Happy Fella is all that I can think of right now...

"The Perfecr Fan" is by the Backstreet Boys, and is actually a pretty song.
"Stay With Me" from Into the Woods is very motherly.

There's always The Portrait, but that might not be the best song for this particular occasion.

Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler is a perennial favourite.
Slipping Through My Fingers is also a surefire way to bring mom to sentimental tears :).

You can't go wrong with "Children Will Listen" from INTO THE WOODS. It's not specifically about moms but it definitely works.

My Best Girl from Mame is the song I would go with.
