    I don't have any personal connection to this song, but it's THE saddest I've ever known.

    Stevie Wonder's "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer"

    The lyrics are sad, the piano is sad, but it's his voice that brings it home. He almost sounds like he's crying as he sings it. And the way he sings the last line is heart-breaking.

    My heart will go on, I could never hear it when I was pregnant. Once I was at a store and it was being played on the overhead and I was with my sister, she was in another isle and she knew how it made me cry and when she realized that the song was playing she was running all over the place until she found me, crying of course...this always brings a smile to my face to remember her caring so much for her at the time pregnant sister :blushing:

    The first song that came to mind is Leader of The Pack by The Shangri-Las. It's an oldie. More recently is Even Angels Cry by Jars of Clay. I'm not sure what the song is about yet but it sure is sad.

    DeVotchKa - How It Ends. It has been overused by movies, commercials, and TV shows since I first fell in love with the song, but it still tugs.

    that "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" song. I love it, but it makes me really sad every year for some reason!

    American Pie - Don McClean

    "I met a girl who sang the blues
    And I asked her for some happy news,
    But she just smiled and turned away.
    I went down to the sacred store
    Where I’d heard the music years before,
    But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.

    And in the streets: the children screamed,
    The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
    But not a word was spoken;
    The church bells all were broken..." *FEELING THE SNIFFLES*

    Also by good old Don: Vincent

    "Now I understand
    What you tried to say, to me
    And how you suffered for your sanity
    And how you tried to set them free:
    They would not listen; they did not know how--
    Perhaps they'll listen now.

    For they could not love you
    But still, your love was true
    And when no hope was left inside
    On that starry, starry night
    You took your life as lovers often do--
    But I could've told you, Vincent:
    This world was never meant
    For one as beautiful as you...." *SAD FOR VINCENT VAN GOGH*

    The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

    "Does any one know where the love of God goes
    when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
    The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
    if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
    They might have split up or they might have capsized;
    they may have broke deep and took water.
    And all that remains is the faces and the names
    of the wives and the sons and the daughters....

    In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
    in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral."
    The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
    for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald..." *HOW SAD FOR THEIR FAMILIES, SNIFFLES AGAIN*

    Shannon
