Slipsliding Away by Paul Simon. There's nothing sadder than regret.

"I know a father who had a son. He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done. He came a long way, just to explain. He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then he turned around and headed home again."

There. I'm crying now.

Oh I cry also during:
Wildfire; coat of Many Colours; and my son (who is an opera singer) singing anything, obviously it doesn't take much ;-)

BUT
no-one has mentioned John Mayer and "goodbye my lover", it was on the radio when my husband was dying, and I used to have to stop the car when I was driving to cry. We played it at his funeral.

GG

Actually I did mention that song, it's not by John Mayer though it's by James Blunt, and when my brother passed away his wife played it at his funeral. I can't listen to the song. So sorry for you loss.

jerrod niemann what do you want from me?

lyrics!


Why’d you call me today with nothing new to say?
You pretend it’s just hello, but you know what it does to me to see your number on the phone.

Now tell me, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want from me?
Are you tryin’ to bring back the tears or just the memories?
You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
When we hang up it’s almost like I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?

I get so tired of living like this.
I don’t have the time, neither do my friends,
To stay up at night, to pull me through,
And to find the things to keep my mind off of you.

So, now tell me, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want from me?
Did you call to say you’ve find someone and I’m a used- to- be.
You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
If you’ve moved on why does it feel like I’m losing you again?
Can’t you see? So what do you want? What do you want from me?

What do you want me to say?
That I’m content? That I’m on the fence? That I wish you would’ve stayed?

Oh baby what do you want, what do you want, what do you want from me?
To come here and make love tonight cause you’re feelin’ lonely.
You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
When we wake up and say goodbye it’s like I’m losing you again.
Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?
What do you want, what do you want from me?

*SEXUAL ASSAULT TRIGGER WARNING*

Bright Eyes - Amy in the White Coat

Some of the lyrics:
"Your older sisters, I've had them too
But you're my favorite, you know it's true
You look like your mother, in that thin disguise
Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes
And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair
It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share"

Reba's song titled "What do you say"

About a mother dying of cancer. First time I heard it my mom had just died of lung cancer and I cried for hours.

*Also a very sad one that is up for interpretation weather the word "heavy" means literal weight or otherwise.*

Stars - Personal

Full Lyrics:
Wanted: single F
Under 33
Must enjoy the sun
Must enjoy the sea
Sought by single M
Mrs. Destiny
Send photo to address
Is it you and me?

Reply to single M:
My name is Caroline
Cell phone number here
Call if you have the time
28 and bored
Grieving over loss
Sorry to be heavy
But heavy is the cost
Heavy is the cost

Reply to Caroline:
Thanks so much for response
These things can be scary
Not always what you want
How about a drink?
This ancient club at noon
I'll phone you first I guess
I hope I see you soon

I never got your name
I assume you're 33
Your voice, it sounded kind
I hope that you like me
When you see my face
I hope that you don't laugh
I'm not a film star beauty
I'll send a photograph
I hope that you don't laugh

Note to single M:
Why did you not show up?
I waited for an hour
I finally gave up
I thought once that I saw you
I thought that you saw me
I guess we'll never meet now
It wasn't meant to be
It wasn't mean to be
I was sure you saw me
But it wasn't meant to be

Wanted: single F
Under 33
Must enjoy the sun
Must enjoy the sea
Sought by single M
Nothing too heavy
Send photo to address
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?

That song always breaks my heart...even though I don't even want the woman back anymore.

I did, for way too long to forget how it feels.
