    This Time the Dreams on Me written by Johnny Mercer. I think Alison Krauss did the version on the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil soundtrack.

    Why - Rascal Flatts
    Moving On - Rascal Flatts
    What Hurts The Most - Rascal Flatts
    Here Comes Goodbye - Rascal Flatts

    I used to love all of those songs until my dad passed away,
    ever since, I cant help but start crying as soon as they start playing.

    barbie: oh, ken, i'm having so much fun!
    ken: well, barbie, we're just getting started!
    barbie: oh, i love you, ken!
    ken: <silence>

    always makes me sad...

    If I die young-The Band Perry.
    My friend's 17 year old daughter died this past July and every time I even think about the song I tear up.
    This song is the worst for me. Every time I hear it I think about my daughters and how it would hurt so much losing one of them.

    Serious response.

    Tom Waits "Tom Traubert's Blues"

    One of the greatest voices in all of music. (maybe second to Leonard Cohen)

    Yes! Another oldie is the one about the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. Its played a lot this time of year (in the Detroit area at least), and is depressing as hell!

    This is the best video I could find for the song.

    Teddy Bear by Red Sovine. One of many "trucker" songs back in the day.
    Red Sovine - Teddy Bear ??

    was on the outskirts of a little southern town
    Tryin' to reach my destination before the sun went down
    The old CB was blarin' away on channel 1-9!
    When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line

    And he said: "Breaker 1-9! Is anyone there?
    Come on back, truckers and talk to Teddy Bear!"
    Well, I keyed the mike and said: "You got it, Teddy Bear!"
    And a little boy's voice came back on the air

    "'Preciate the break, Who we got on that end?"
    I told him my handle, and, then he began:
    "Now, I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there
    Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air

    But you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk
    'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled, and, I can't walk!"
    I came back and told him to fire up that mike
    And I'd talk to him, as long as he liked

    "This was my dad's radio", the little boy said
    "But I guess it's mine and mom's now, 'cause my daddy's dead!"
    "Dad had a wreck about a month ago
    He was trying to get home in a blindin' snow

    Mom has to work now, to make ends meet
    And I'm not much help, with my two crippled feet!"
    "She says not to worry that we'll make it alright
    But, I hear her crying, sometimes late at night

    You know there's just one thing I want more than anything else to see
    Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me!"
    "But, you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home
    But, I guess that's all over now, since my daddy's gone

    Not one breaker came on the old CB
    As that little crippled boy talked with me
    I tried hard to swallow a lump that just wouldn't stay down
    As I thought about my boy back in Greenville Town

    "Dad was going to take mom and me with him later on this year, Why,
    l remember 'im saying: 'Someday this old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear!'
    But, I know I'll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again
    But, this old base will keep me in touch with all my trucker friends!"

    "Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone
    'Cause it's about time for mom to come home
    But, you give me a shout when you're passin' through
    And I'll sure be happy to come back to you!"

    Well, I came back and I said: uh! "Before you go 10-10
    What's your home 20, little CB friend?"
    Well, he gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate
    'Cause this hot load of freight was just gonna have to wait

    I turned that truck around on a dime
    And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229
    And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one heck of a shock
    l8 wheelers were lined up for three city blocks!

    Why, I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call
    And that little crippled boy was having a ball
    For as fast as one driver would carry him in
    Another would carry him to his truck and take off again

    Well, you better believe I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
    And then I carried him back in and put him down in his chair
    And buddy if I never live to see happiness again
    I want you to know I saw it that day, in the face of that little man

    We took up a collection for him before his mama got home
    And each driver said goodbye and then they all were gone
    He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
    And said: "So long, trucker I'll catch ya again!"

    Well, I hit the Interstate with tears in my eyes
    I turned on the radio and I got another surprise
    "Breaker 1-9!" Came a voice on the air
    "Just one word of thanks from Mama Teddy Bear!"

    "We wish each and every one, a special prayer for you
    'Cause, You just made my little boy's dream come true
    I'll sign off now, before, I start to cry
    May God ride with you, 10-4, and goodbye."
