    How has no one said "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton??? It's about his son who fell off an apartment balcony as a BABY and wondering if his son will remember him when he gets to heaven. Oh the feels :sad:

    I thought Tears in Heaven was sad until I lost my daughter. Then it became too close to home and I can't listen to it. Arms Wide Open was another one that killed me, it came out when I got pregnant with her, and I thought it was a great song, but after she was stillborn, it reminded me of everything we would miss out on.

    yup, OP...that is a sad one for sure. "Breathe Me" by Sia gets me every time but that's partly because in my head I see the finale of Six Feet Under...whoa boy

    Wayne Cochran, Joe Carpenter, Randall Hoyal & Bobby McGlon (1961) - Last kiss

    The singer borrows his father's car to take his beloved sweetheart out on a romantic date (on a rainy night). Coming across a stalled car in the road the singer swerves to the right to avoid it, losing control and crashing violently in the process. The crash renders both the singer and his girlfriend unconscious. The singer later regains consciousness and finds several people at the scene of the accident, but was able to find his girlfriend, still lying unconscious. When the singer cradles his girlfriend lovingly in his arms, she regains partial consciousness, smiling and asking the singer to "hold me, darling, just a little while." The singer then gives his sweetheart what would be their "last romantic kiss" as she fades into death and enters the afterlife.

    The Johnny Cash version of Hurt
    and if we're mentioning Johnny Cash, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. Particularly the version on American IV.
