The Bat/Bar Mitzvah candlelighting is not only a celebration of the child's 12/13 birthday. It is also a party for the parents! Traditionally, before the age of BM, all the child's responsibility to follow Jewish law and tradition lies with the parents. After this age, the children bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition and ethics. So, the parents have as well a good reason to celebrate, don't they?
Good choice, Cyrus! The song is listed on the Father & Daughter Dance song list, but it is also a good choice for this candle! The song was added to the list with a credit to you, thanks!

a good song for this. the song im playing for my parents is
"I Learned From You" by, Miley Cyrus ft. Billy Ray Cyrus
I didn't wanna listen to what you were sayin' I thought that I knew all I need to know I didn't realize that somewhere inside me I knew you were right but I couldn't say so
I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well
I learned from you that I do not crumble I learned that strength is something you choose All of the reasons to keep on believing There's not question, that's a lesson, that I learned from you

What about "Simply the Best"? It has very strong energies! I call you,when I need you my hearts on fire You come to me, come to me, wild and wild
You come to me, give me everything I need Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak the language of love like you know what it means And it cant be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby
Chorus: Youre simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone Ive ever met! Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start of every night and every day In your eyes, I get lost, I gte washed away Just as long as Im here in your arms I could be in no better place...
Chorus: Youre simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone Ive ever met! Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead
Its the time you leave me I start losing control, youre walking away with my Heart and my soul, I can feel you even when Im alone, oh baby dont let go!
And your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone ive Ever met! Im stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead, ooh youre the best!

The McGuire Sisters' "Love and Marriage" is a good choice if both parents are called to the stage together. Love and marriage, love and marriage Go together like a horse and carriage This I tell you brother You cant have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage Its an institute you cant disparage Ask the local gentry And they will say its elementary
Try, try, try to separate them Its an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage Go together like a horse and carriage Dad was told by mother You cant have one without the other
