Been listening to "Falsettos" on repeat and thinking about how many wonderful songs there are out there in the musical theatre canon sung from fathers to their sons and mothers to their sons and even fathers to their daughters, but am struggling to find one from a mother to her daughter. I know there has to be something perfect out there. Help?

I mean, it's not a necessarily happy one, but "Days and Days," right?

The daughter also sings a little in it, but Maybe (Next to Normal) from Next to Normal works.

"16 Going on 17 (Reprise)" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC?

"Stay With Me" from Into The Woods would technically count.

not mom to daughter but more just mom to child...So big/So small from dear evan hansen

First thing that comes to mind is "Married" from A Catered Affair

Slipping through my fingers by Abba is used as a mother to daughter song in Mamma Mia. (Although I suppose it could be a father to daughter song too). But like Stay with me, it's a poignant song about growing up from the parent's point of view.

"Everything Changes" from Waitress--particularly the version on the Sara Barailles album.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Fable from The Light in the Piazza yet. Here are some others:
Anytime (I Am There) from Elegies: A Song Cycle
The Story Goes on from Baby
And Eve Was Weak & I Remember How Those Boys Could Dance from Carrie (definitely a different kind of mother/daughter song, but still)

More of a duet, but "The Apple Doesn't Fall Very Far" from THE RINK.
