Brother/Sister song

Ok. My father passed away when I was 10 so I am having my little brother give me away at my wedding. We have always been really close but we are 10 years apart. So I am having a really hard time finding a song to dance to with him. A lot of the songs I am finding seem to be targeted towards an older brother and father figure. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!

I was at a wedding recently where the mother/son dance was to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole (the one with the Ukelele). It's a great song that I really love and its nice, but not super sentimental.

My Fiance' and his mother aren't very close, and never really have been and I was wondering if anyone had a good song that wasn't too gushy gushy w/ lovy dovy lyrics, but still nice. Too many songs say something about always being there for one another and so on and thats just not true.
Help!

I am also dancing with my younger brother who is ten years younger than me. I am using Rascall Flats- My Wish.

When my brother got married 5 years ago, I danced with him (our mom passed away the year before) to Faith Hill's "There You'll Be." Here are the lyrics, it's really a beautiful song, and I think very appropriate.

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I’ll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I’ll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be
