The saddest song ever? But you have to say why!!!!?!
Question: Guilty!!
Yes Baby I’ve been drinking
And I shouldn’t come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling
And I had no place else to go.
Got some whiskey from a barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
And I had to keep on drinkin baby
Till I was back in your arms again
Guilty, baby I’m guilty
And I’ll be guilty all the rest of my life
How come I never do what I’m supposed to do
Nothing I try to do ever turns out right
You know, you know how it is with me baby
You know I just can’t stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I’m somebody else
Randy Newman
I have heard lots of different covers of this song but the way Bonnie Raitt sings it just makes it sound so depressing and empty. I just love her version..
Your turn!

Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town,
Trying to reach my destination before the sun went down.
The old CB was blaring away on channel one-nine
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line.
And he said, "Breaker, one-nine, is anyone there?
Come on back, truckers, and talk to Teddy Bear."
Well, I keyed the mike and I said, "Well, you got it,Teddy Bear."
And the little boy's voice came back on the air.
"'Preciate the break. Who we got on that end?"
I told him my handle, and then he began:
"Now, I'm not supposed to bother you fellas out there,
Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air.
But, you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk
'Cause that's about all I can do. I'm crippled and I can't walk."
I came back and told him to fire up that mike
And I'd talk to him as long as he'd like.
"This was my dad's radio," the little boy said,
"But I guess it's mine and Mom's now 'cause my daddy's dead.
Dad had a wreck about a month ago.
He was trying to get home in a blinding snow.
Mom has to work now to make ends meet
And I'm not much help with my two crippled feet.
She says not to worry, that we'll make it all right,
But I hear her crying sometimes late at night.
You know, there's one thing I want more than anything else to see.
Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me,
But, you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home
But I guess that's all over now since my daddy's gone."
Not one breaker came on the old CB
As that little crippled boy talked with me.
I tried hard to swallow, the lump just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy back in Greenville town.
"Dad was gonna take Mom and me with him later on this year.
Why, I remember him saying, 'Someday this old truck'll be yours, Teddy Bear.'
But I know I'll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again,
But this old base will keep me in touch with all my trucker friends.
Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone
'Cause it's about time for Mom to come home.
But you give me a shout when you're passing through
And I'll sure be happy to come back to you."
Well, I came back and I said, "Before you go ten-ten,
What's your home-twenty, little CB friend?"
Well, he gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate
'Cause this hot load of freight was just gonna have to wait.
I turned that truck around on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229.
And as I rounded the corner, boy, I got one heck of a shock--
Eighteen-wheelers were lined up for three city blocks!
Why, I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call
And that little crippled boy was having a ball.
For as fast as one driver would carry him in,
Another would carry him to his truck and take off again.
Well, you better believe I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in and put him down in his chair.
And, buddy, if I never live to see happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day, in the face of that little man.
We took up a collection for him before his mama got home
And each driver said goodbye and then they were all gone.
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
And said, "So long, trucker, I'll catch you again!"
I hit that interstate with tears in my eyes
And I turned on the radio and I got another surprise.
"Breaker, one-nine," came a voice on the air,
"Just one word of thanks from Mama Teddy Bear.
We wish each and every one a special prayer for you
'Cause you just made my little boy's dream come true.
I'll sign off now before I start to cry.
May God ride with you. Ten-four, and goodbye."
It really touches my heart since my daughter is in a wheelchair!!!
"I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. It strikes me on a personal level...an experience that I am still trying to get over.
Alyssa Lies - Jason Michael Carroll
My little girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings
But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"
and she said...
"Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"
(bridge)
I had the worst night of sleep in years
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies
It's the story of his daughter's friend getting beaten and finally killed by abusive parents.

If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed where it would go.
If you're reading this I'm already home.
If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak
I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that id follow in his shoes
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home
If you're reading this, there is going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and that?s okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace
So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home

The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics---
first time i heard it , i cried ,,,it is about telling someone (in this song his dad) how much he means (meant) to him and he waited too long and he now wishes he had told him in The Living Years.
Where were you by Alan Jackson. It's about 9/11
There is an old song by Michael Murphy called "Wildfire" about a woman's horse that gets lost in a blizzard and they never find him. This is going back about 20 years! I still cry like a baby when I hear it, my cousins horse died that same year.
the saddest one I can think of right now is the song at the end of the "phantom of the opera" movie, where the phantom tells christine he loves her but he lets her go, and she kisses him and gives his ring back to him and then she leaves, and then he's crying and he sings "you alone can make my song take flight - it's over now, the music of the night!" and then he crashes the mirrors with the candlestick and steps into one of the broken mirrors and even though they don't show it, it's implied that he dies (if you read the book, you know that he DID die. of a broken heart, I guess.) and it's just SOOOO sad ....
:O(
I love that story ...
it has to be everybody hurts by R.E.M...it has me in tears every time..river of dreams by billy joel is a very close second as it was played at my dads funeral
Dixie chicks sang it, I think it's called "Travelin soldier"... I don't listen to country often, but this song gave me chills and I about started crying when It was over...

Tears in heaven.........Eric clapton
Written about his young son who tragically fell out of a skyscraper window
; Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven...
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
Ill find my way through night and day
cause I know I just cant stay here in heaven...
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please
Beyond the door theres peace Im sure
And I know therell be no more tears in heaven...
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
cause I know I dont belong here in heaven...
It's a country song called christmas shoes or sumthin like that
Crazy by Patsy Cline. I heard someone sing at a karaoke bar and couldn't believe it. When I read the words, it was just sad.
Can't cry anymore - Sheryl Crowe.
Because it's about being so emotionally exhausted from crying and worrying that you just don't have the energy anymore. It's about putting things into perspective.
Me And Little Andy by Dolly Parton, It is very sad, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NelrByOYb...
Mother Kellys Doorstep``? i were once sat on it`??

A song about a Rat (Michael Jackson)
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I’ll never be alone
And you my friend will see
And you’ve got a friend in me
(You’ve got a friend in me)
Ben, you’re always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you’re not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don’t like what you find
There’s something you should know
You’ve got a place to go
(You’ve got a place to go)
I used to say ‘I’ and ‘me’
Now it’s ‘us’ now it’s ‘we’
(I used to say ‘I’ and ‘me’)
(Now it’s ‘us’ now it’s ‘we’)
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don’t listen to a word they say
They don’t see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I’m sure they’d think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben
