* In''Theatre/LesMiserables'', Fantine sings lovingly to a hallucination of Cosette during [[spoiler: her dying song]] "Come to Me," while in "In My Life," Valjean sings briefly of how he wishes he could end Cosette's loneliness and make her fully happy.

[[SillyLoveSongs Some love songs]] are between romantic partners or spousees. [[FriendshipSong Others]] are between good friends. Still others are between parent and child.

-->Cheryl: I love you, sweetheart.
-->Child: I love you too, Mommy!

* A more tragic example is "The Living Years" by Mike + the Mechanics; the song is more of an "I wish my father and I could have put aside our differences while he was still alive" kind of song (it's especially sad considering that songwriters B. A. Robertson and Mike Rutherford had both had strained relationships with their then-recently-deceased fathers, and singer Paul Carrack had lost his own father as a child).

* "My Child Will Forgive Me" from ''Theatre/{{Parade}}'' is about a mother trying to cope with her guilt after her daughter is murdered.

* Music/OliviaNewtonJohn released an album full of lullabies and other Parental Love Songs, ''Warm and Tender'', in 1990. The track list includes standards such as "The Way You Look Tonight," "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Over the Rainbow]]" and "[[Film/{{Pinocchio}} When You Wish Upon a Star]]" as well several lullabies and a cover of Dionne Warwick's hit "Reach Out for Me," which was released as a single.

* From ''Theatre/SweeneyTodd'', the reprise of "Johanna". Played with, however, in that Todd muses on Johanna, but ultimately shows no desire to get back to her.

* ''Dead Mom'' from Theatre/Beetlejuice is about how much Lydia misses her mom.
