Saddest song I've ever heard.........

Saturday, June 12, 2004 by Old_Crab | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

What's the saddest of one of the saddest songs you've heard. You can go way back if you want. I chucked out the CD player and pulled out my 8 track player and listened to a bunch of old tapes (still playable). One was by Cat Stevens and I got weepy back then a now. Lady D'Arbanville was the song. >

Diary by Bread

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
you'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air
and though she tried to hide
the love that she denied,
wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
all the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find

Nights In White Satin, actually that has always been my all time favorite song. My favorite part is the flute solo.

Artist: Dr. Hook
Song: Sylvia's Mother

Lyrics:

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying, to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy, so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

CHORUS:
Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her
Goodbye


Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's going be leaving today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marrying, a fellow down Galveston-Way
Sylvia's mother says Please don't say nothing, to make her start crying and stay
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes


CHORUS


Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurrying, she's catching the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says Take your umbrella, cause Sylvia it's starting to rain
And Sylvia's mother says Thank you for calling and sir won't you come back again
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes


CHORUS


Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
Goodbye

One by Three Dog Night

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest
(Number) One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Elvis got use crying twice in 1969 with...

In The Ghetto

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
’cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don’t get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

And

Don't Cry Daddy

Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
My pillow still wet
From last night tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying but
And ringing in my ears

Don’t cry daddy
Daddy, please don’t cry
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little tommy
Together we’ll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don’t cry

Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It’s true, but somehow
It just don’t seem right
’cause ev’ry time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
I wonder will it be the same tonight

Don’t cry daddy
Daddy, please don’t cry
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little tommy
Together we’ll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don’t cry
Oh, daddy, please don’t cry

Broken Lady

Her love was like a fortress around a man she would have died for
taking care to take care of all he needed
But the lady's fortress slowly turned into a prison
and the warning signs he gave she never heeded

She vowed every morning that what God joined together
no one else in the world could tear apart

Then the walls came tumbling down
and her world came crashing down around her heart

Now she's a broken lady
waiting to be mended
like a potter would mend a broken vase

Broken Lady
waiting to be mended
and have what's left of the pieces
put back in place.

Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers

From the album "Peter Gabriel III"

Games Without Frontiers
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
-Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Jeux sans frontieres

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
-Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears

Peter Gabriel - Biko

From the album "Peter Gabriel III"

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now

This is a song I wrote for a tune in my head....I think it's pretty sad...it sure felt that way when I wrote it....

Silverbird

She said
"I'm going to give you something that will help to numb the pain."
And mentioned she would come back in a while to check on me again
The cold steel slides into my vein and stops my moaning and my pain
I don't know who she is but I will let her use the name
Silverbird

She comforts me when all the world is spinning
inside my head she lifts me up and tells me we are winning
She spreads her wings surrounding me with Heaven's glorious Light
and whispers to me in my dreams
"You'll be home by tonight"
By tonight!

Silverbird The Other National Symbol in my heart
The Other Anthem The Other Flag
The Other Semper Fi when my feet drag

Silverbird The Other Loved One waiting with her arms
Silverbird The Other Training keeping me from harm
Silverbird My Sister and My Buddie's Sister Too
Silverbird My Mother Take Me Back Again Inside
Of You

He says
"It'lll be a while before you try to walk again, but I'll be here right by your side
to lean on until then."
His uniform is bloodied and he wears a thorn of crowns
but something in his voice tells me he'll never let me down
Silverbird

He carried me far from the wet and bloody ground
and protected me from bullets flying all around
and brought me here collapsing in his own weariness and pain
and he said to me
"You'll be ok now."
I'll be ok now!

Silverbird The Other National Symbol in my heart
The Other Anthem The Other Flag
The Other Semper Fi when my feet drag

Silverbird The Other Man beside me in my head
Silverbird The Other Book that promises I never will be dead
Silverbird My Hero and My Savior and My Friend
Silverbird My Brother in the Sun that never ends
Amen

I wrote it for our guys...our boys...and brothers and fathers and our moms and sisters and daughters....

you know....
Chickie

Shannon by Henry Gross

I remember as a kid crying like crazy over the fact of loosing a dog.


Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
