Dear OP:

Just a quick note to offer my condolences along with mad props to you and your family springing into action to celebrate your loved one and create a special moment for your family and friends while he was still here. So smart and meaningful. Your post was an inspiration. Truly.

Louis Armstrong, What a Wonderful World. It's all about appreciating this moment.

Not trying to be snarky PP ~ but the OP specifically specified that she did not want a song about a “wonderful world.”

Just pointing this out gently. 👍🏽

It’s been said a million times before, but don’t wait until it’s too late to tell the people in your life how much they mean to you! He was so touched, so incredibly happy, to see all the people who showed up for him and cared for him.

I'm sorry for your loss, op. What a gift to pull off that event so quickly and have a wonderful memory.

Peace to your family.

Through the Years (Kenny Rogers) seems to have appropriate lyrics and is very “sway-y”. This is a lovely idea OP.
