    Danny Boy

    One expression of it is that of an Irish mother living through the hard times that prevailed many years ago waving goodbye to her son from a quayside as he set off to cross the Atlantic to start a new life in America, knowing that it was a akin to a death sentence, because she knew she would most likely never see him again.

    To my taste preferably sung by Eva Cassidy

    A Song for Mama - Boys II Men (this one because I sang it to my mom, and my kids sang it for me)

    Amazing Grace...it was sang at a funeral of a loved one that died from cancer. If you listen to the actual lyrics they are very moving.

    "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp...for some reason it makes me think of my childhood and memories of my mother. I think it was in a movie once.

    "I'm Already There" by Lonestar....Oh my goodness! I forgot about this one! When my husband was deployed, I was at a Women's Conference where the ex lead singer of Lonestar sang a bunch of songs, and this was one of them. I had never listened to the words until then, I bawled the entire time & so did all of the women with me :) The stories behind their songs are amazing....he told us how he came to write each & every one of them...."Front Porch looking in" is a good one too!

    Im here by Fantasia....

    I believe I have inside of me
    Everything that I need to live a bountiful life
    With all the love inside of me
    I'll stand as tall as the tallest tree
    And I'm thankful for each day that I'm given
    Both the easy and the hard ones I'm livin'
    But most of all
    Yes I'm thankful for lovin' who I really am
    I'm beautiful
    Yes I'm beautiful
    And I'm here

    One of these days you're gonna love me-Tim McGraw

    We use to chase that boy home from school
    Called him freckle face, red headed fool
    He was different,
    He wasn't cool like me.

    Sticks and stones didn't break any bones
    But we never left well enough alone
    But one day he ran away from home you see
    And I passed him as we walked away
    And in his eyes I heard him say

    One of these days your gonna love me
    You'll sit down by yourself and think
    'Bout the times you pushed and shoved me
    And what good friends we might have been
    And then your gonna sigh a little
    Maybe even cry a little but
    One of these days your gonna love me

    Patty Sue was a small town beauty
    I took one look at her and had to pull her to me
    Lord knows she should have seen right through me
    When I promised her the world

    But at 17 you only want one thing
    I left her standing with my high school ring
    Innocent tears in the pouring rain
    As I walked away
    And I still see her in my dreams
    And to this day she's whispering


    One of these days your gonna love me
    You'll sit down by yourself and think
    'Bout the time you turned from me
    And what good friends we might have been
    And then your gonna sigh a little
    Maybe even cry a little but
    One of these days your gonna love me

    Now everybody stands up
    the congregation sings
    It's a song of sweet forgiveness
    And As the chours rings

    The wind blows clear my memory
    The pages start to turn
    And suddenly I'm singing
    The moment that I loved

    One of these days I'm gonna love me
    And fill the joy of sweet release
    One of these days I'll rise above me
    And at last I'll find some peace

    :sad:

    My Immortal by Evanescence. This song came out right after I lost my godson in a collision with a drunk driver. The words hit home every time I hear it, which is why I try to avoid it.
