Saddest songs.

[Bill Walker]

There's a lot.
This one, "Goodbye" was written by a guy, I think his name was Jenkins who had just lost his wife and child in childbirth.
Beautifully sung by Frank Sinatra, that final note where he sings Goodbye is so full of emotion.

True story. Many years ago, my sister and her husband were driving in their car when 'Time To Say Goodbye' came on the radio and my sister said she'd like that at her funeral. Two weeks later completely out of the blue, she died.

I'm a pretty cold person, not affected by emotion, but when that played at her funeral, I was a wreck and still am every time I hear it. RIP our Susan

Crawl across toward your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
half-awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late night television
inside my bedroom all alone

There is no use in waiting
offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
let me hear the rain tap on your street
knowing I am safe on the inside
blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep

Johnny Cash "Hurt"
Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome ..."
The tune the four musicians supposedly played on the Titanic ("Nearer my God to Thee")
Leonard Cohen "Sisters of Mercy"
Judith Durham "The Carnival Is Over."

Bloody hell,got to listen to something more cheerful, goodnight.

Your Long Journey
Robert Plant, Alison Krauss


God's given us years of happiness here
Now we must part
And as the angels come and call for you
The pains of grief tug at my heart
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Oh the days will be empty
The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
