Father/Daughter, Mother/Son
I found this on the knot

I copied the below from theknot.com. My dad wants "I loved her first" so we will be doing that. Here are some ideas for those of you still searching for that perfect song:

Trying to come up with the perfect wedding song to dance to with Dad or Mom? Start by deciding if you want a beautiful slow ballad or also want a song with meaningful lyrics. (Warning: If you choose a tear-jerker, plan the dance for later on in the reception, when the party is beginning to wind down and most of the pictures have already been taken!)

Below is a list of popular wedding songs for parent dances. We recommend reading through the whole list for ideas -- some songs work for a father-daughter or mother-son dance. Or, you may want to choose one song and have both dances at the same time.
