What's the saddest song you know?

Time in a Bottle. Especially knowing that he died shortly after writing it.

Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah. And more recently Adele, Someone Like You.

The first one that came to mind was Zero by Lamb:

There's no one here today
'Cause someone took the light away
There's nothing in my heart
Don't think I could even start to explain
I can't stand the pain of losing something so much a part of me
Though in reality you were hardly there in my heart, in my heart
You were everything, everything

In these few hours a breath of summertime has turned to winter rain
In such little time all my hope has gone
Will it ever be the same
All I ever wanted was to see your face
To see a little smile from my little one and let
You know, and let you know
You were everything, everything

Babe I did all I could just
To give you life
I'd have done anything
Just to give you life

Out there in the dark your little spirit is lost without a home
Oh don't be afraid I'm thinking of you, no you'll never be alone
Someday, somehow, when the time is right
May an angel smile upon me and give you life
To give you life
I'd give everything
I'd give everything, everything
I'd give everything to give you life
To give you life

Adding two more!!!

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you...

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine orten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love andABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it'shard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that thespring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'llbe there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hillsthat we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please prayfor me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me rightfrom wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I getalong.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing inthe sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little childreneverywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, wehad seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, allhave gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helpedme find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always comearound
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard todie
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is inthe air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both bethere.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars wecould reach
were just starfishs on the beach

They make me feel like a good cry!!!

Sarah McLachlan ...Angel, from City of Angels Movie

They have this song as the background music in the animal abuse commericals and both of those combined makes me tear up everytime

- what hurts the most - rascal flatts (this song used to be word for word true for me and even though it no longer is, it's still a dad song in general)
- how to save a life - the fray (i still relate to this song. "where did i go wrong, i lost a friend, somewhere along in the bitterness")
- black dahlia - hollywood undead (most people wouldn't think this is a very sad song but when you take the time to listen to the lyrics and can relate by being a cutter, it's definitely sad)
- the reason - hoobastank (not really a sad song but it makes me sad because me and one of my old friends used to sing it out loud on the bus every morning until he had to move away)

The Fureys - The Old Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCSaBYY-wQk

It always makes me choke up. It reminds me of my Dad

Lyrics:

The tears have all been shed now
We've said our last goodbyes
His souls been blessed
He's laid to rest
And it's now I feel alone
He was more than just a father
A teacher my best friend
He can still be heard
In the tunes we shared
When we played them on our own

(chorus)
Now I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man

As a boy he'd take me walking
By mountain field and stream
And he showed me things
Not known to kings
And secret between him and me
Like the colours of the pheasant
As he rises in the dawn
And how to fish and make a wish
Beside the holly tree

(chorus)
Now I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man

I thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the minutes fly
And the years roll by
For a father and a son
And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him thanks
For everything he's done

(chorus)
Now I never will forget him
For he made me "what I am"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And I miss him, the old man
