Sad Songs

[stonecold]

This one gets to me......


"With Arms Wide Open"

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

[Guitar Break]

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything..oh yeah
With arms wide open....wide open

[Ginger]

Me too, Stonecold! Love that song.

If you wait for me then Ill come for you
Although Ive traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
Then Ill return to you
Ill return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place thats warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
Ive longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
Ive longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
Please say youll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if its one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say youll hold
A place for me in your heart.

OMG GingerI have that on my wedding CD I listen to in my car and cry (pretty much once a weekI'm very emotional and like to cry))

Not really a sad song, but it makes think of my mom everytime and how much she did for me and my sister as a single mom and I get all choaked up. Actually, I made my husband dance with his mom to this song with his mom at our wedding and me and mom stood at the edge of dance floor and hugged cause she knew it was really for her:

Weird video that doesn't really fit the song though

What You'd Be Today....Kenny Chesney

where were you by alan jackson

[Tlyn]

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

I love all of these songs and many of them bring tears to eyes. Especially Danny Boy. We played that at my Dad's funeral and like Rita's Mom's funeral, there was not a dry eye.

To quote Michael Stanley, "there's something 'bout a sad song that helps to ease the pain".

nevermind..........

I love love love this song. I liked it before I saw the movie Closer, but after I saw that movie (Which is now in my top list) I fell in love with it. It's a beautiful song, and the story line that goes along with it in the movie is somewhat tragic I suppose....

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you...
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Although it's seasonal and overplayed that song about the little boy who's mom is dying, "Christmas Shoes".
I still cry the first time I hear it every year.

[Ginger]

oh, I LOVE that Natalie Merchant song, so glad you posted it! I'm going to go buy it on iTunes.


My daughter is doing songs in two of her solos this year that bring me to tears. Well, a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that I always cry when I see her dance...what a weirdo, eh?

The first one is this one:

YouTube - Creed - One last breath with lyrics

The other one is more of a tear jerker for me. After my mom's suicide I wrote these lyrics out for Kelsey to let her know I'd always be here for her. Then she chose this wonderful version of the song for her solo:

YouTube - Scott Simons Umbrella

You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
You May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath and I'll stick it out till the end
Now it's raining more than ever
But we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because


When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath and I'll stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella

Jeez, thanks Leesa, now you went and got the pregnant hormonal girl crying all over again today!

I love both of those songs!
