A good Disney song for a memorial?

[Madame Minnie]

Hi everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but I thought this was something you all could help me with.

My mom passed away at the beginning of June and her memorial service is on Friday. During the service, we'll be playing a picture slideshow to some of her favorite music. I want to encompass her love of Disney in the slideshow, but I'm not sure which song(s) to use. Her favorite rides were the roller coasters, but I don't think any of that music would be appropriate. I know she liked Mary Poppins, so I thought of Feed the Birds, but maybe that's too sad? Any other suggestions are welcome! TIA!

You'll be in my heart-Phil Collins(Tarzan. Such a sweet song. not extremely slow but touching!)
Circle of Life
Reflection-Christina Aguilera

I'm very sorry for your loss

 

[Madame Minnie]

Ooooh I didn't think of "Circle of Life". Good suggestion! And thank you.

At my son's funeral his music therapist played some of his favorite quiet Disney songs, Colors of the wind and A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes.

You'll Be in My Heart is a perfect memorial song. I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's passing.

Colours of the Wind was the first song that popped in my head. Feed the Birds is such a tender song so I'd put it in, esp since she loved Mary Poppins.

I'm sorry about your mother's passing.

So sorry for your loss. How about "Can you Feel the Love Tonight"? I read the lyrics and got the chills when I got to these words:
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Feed the birds. Make it the closing song.

Maybe "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2?

My mother in law's final request was to have Zip a dee Do Dah played at her funeral. Unfortunately the Pastor refused. I thought it was a wonderful choice.

very sorry on the loss of your Mom. I agree, Feed the Bird's and I also love the one from Dumbo, Baby Mine, I think?

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Have you considered Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon?

Candle on the Water

I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you have somewhere to turn

I'll be your candle on the water
'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright
My soul is there beside you
Let this candle guide you
Soon you'll see a golden stream of light

A cold and friendless tide has found you
Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
Circling in the air
Lighted by a prayer

I'll be your candle on the water
This flame inside of me will grow
Keep holding on you'll make it
Here's my hand so take it
Look for me reaching out to show
As sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go...

From Meet the Robinsons - Little Wonders by Rob Thomas
"Little Wonders"

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain

Hi everyone. I ended up adding "Chim Chim Cheree" and Brian Wilson's version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?". (She also loved the Beach Boys, so double win there. ) to everyone who gave suggestions.
