I'm sure you don't want to over-do the whole "mother-daughter-lovey-lovey" stuff...so I'll try not to continue it...
Since you said this is an elegant event, you could get away with simple classical pieces...I would strongly suggest:
- "The Song of the Secret Garden." (it's fairly popular, so most people will recognize it)
- Ravel's "Pavane" (directly translated this song is about the death of an infant, but it is incredibly beautiful and touching. no one has to know! hehe)
- Vivaldi's "Winter" or "Spring" (these might be pushing it)
- "La Folia" (or variations of....it's such a beautiful melody...!)
If you MUST go for something with lyrics, Iwould suggest
"Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion...it's versatile like that.
I want to second the "Faithfully" by Journey mention....awesome song...fits pretty nicely...but not exactly "elegant." Oh well, it's powerful enough to get some tear-jerking going on!
Also- the "Thank You" by Natalie Merchant mention is perfect.
