Whaa,long time ago :((

Is this a ga-a-ame you're play-ayin'
I don't understand what's go-oin' on
I can't see through your frown
First you're up
Then you're dow-ow-ow-own
You're keepin' me from someone
I want to know-ow-ow-ow

But I need you toni-i-ight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you toni-i-ight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay-ay with me till dawn...

It's the sa-ame old situa-ation
Every word so fi-inely placed
Runnin' arou-ou-ound
My concentra-ation
Is the feelin' that I've just got to
Break out and say-ay-ay

Oh I need you toni-ight
(Need you tonight)
Yes I need you toni-i-i-ight
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay-ay with me till dawn...

**Is this a ga-a-ame you're play-ayin'
Playin' with my hear-ear-ear-eart
(Need you tonight)
Ooh stop playin' with my hear-ear-ear-eart
(Need you tonight)
And I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay-ay with me till dawn...

Yes I'll show you a sunset
If you'll stay-ay with me till dawn...

I dreamed a dream from Les Mis, Ruthie Henshall

forget Susan Boyle, this is THE one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt-IBJpEMzA

turn it up and wallow - it's one of the few things that make me sob

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

When I was a lad
And old shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows wed stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old swimmin hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out

As the years fast did roll
Old shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him jim

With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at sheps faithful head
I just couldnt do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead

He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
Theres one thing I know
Old shep has a wonderful home



This one does it for me.

I am going to record all these on one cd....they are all so beautiful......I have most of them


Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
Cause today I started loving you again...
Today I started loving you again

sobs uncontollably.....just got my music back from daughter and have them all.....sigh!......I feel so miserable now.....just the job for an all alone night.....where's that spare bottle of Baileys



Today I burned your old love letters.
Burned them gently one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read it
To try and find the wrong I've done

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart in two
Our love is there among the embers
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue

Today I burned your old love letters
I watched our love go up in smoke
I lived again those precious mem'ries
I heard each tender word you spoke

The first you wrote me was the sweetest
The last one said that we were through
Our love is there among the embers
Of the ashes of your letters tied in blue.


Jim Reeves or Billie Jo Spears ( Google Utube )

RR - saw song thread so took opportunity to send you pm. J*

Catch the Wind - Donovan. A beautiful song that can still move me to tears.

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

Sue xx

If I hear this playing in a shop .....I have to walk out.......can't hear it.....but it's so beautiful I'm hoping one day I WILL be able to......

Tears In Heaven.........Eric Clapton

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't 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
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Everybody Hurts, R.E.M.


When your day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries n everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
If you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. don't throw your hand. oh, no. don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life so hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries. and everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. so, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. you are not alone

David Gates
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

Who remebers this from the 70's


"Everything I Own"

(As recorded by Bread)
DAVID GATES

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm... kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free... set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

And I would give anything I own
Would give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love
What it's of... what's it's of
You never said too much
But still you showed the way, and I knew
From watchin' you
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go.

And I would give anything I own
Would give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know, you're loving them so
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day
Someone takes them away
And they don't hear the words longed to say.

I would give anything I own
Would give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to touch you once again.

Oh Havoc...that is so haunting

and BC....good job my mascara is on sniff!


Sheesh Rose

Just had a thought.......No Micks from the Bush allowed on this thread cos I know just what he is going to say.

still not reading........Williy Nelson

If you had not have fallen
then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing and hung around for a while
trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

I knew someday that you would fly away
for love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

Awww Teresa....I can just seethe tears...*sniff.....well this song always reminds me of a special person and he used to sing it to me...lol.....


I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

Am just listening to her cd and it came on ( the best of Billie Jo Spears......she sings it with such a heart rendering twang too.....made me think back when I used to play sad songs and my sister would sob her heart out, but say it does one good.

She sings Heartaches by the number quite well too...then there is Paper Roses, true love, games people play....your old love letters.....sheesh...and here was me trying to record some happy songs for a wedding too :-)))


then there is the rotten one for just when one has got over it....'Today I started loving you again' and help me make it through the night ......sigh!....sorry Rose....brilly cd though


Oh definitely TW......I think we should make our own mix of 'Sad\Songs' and call it 'sob yer guts out'

This is mine....I had a scottish boyfriend once, he was drop dead gorgeous, and so romantic, I was swept off my feet. I was only 16, he was 19. Anyway, it all came to an end after a few weeks, when I found out he was seeing my best mate at the same time. She didn't know he was seeing me either, we found out because he had messed up and arranged to meet both of us at the same time...we did swear and curse at each other then burst out laughing, deciding he wasn't worth falling out over.

Anyway, he had bought me this single, and after we finished I played it over and over again on my old record player, the sort where if you leave the arm off it will replay the record...


Tears on my pillow, Johnny Nash.


I can't take it
I'm so lonely, gee I need you so
I can't take it
Oh I wonder why you had to go

But baby every night I wake up crying
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind

I remember all the good times that we had before
Oh I remember
And now my heart, my very soul cries out for more

But baby, all your love for me is dying
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind

I'll always remember that day you promised to love me
You said you'd love me till the very end
And I'll never forget
I'll never forget when you walked away from me
You walked out of my life, you were my very best friend

Oh baby every night I wake up crying
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind
Yeah tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind
I got tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind
I got tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
You on my mind

I saw the first words and won't read the rest.... Susan, this is THE one..... :((

I have found just the song to have a right good sob to...now don't get me wrong, not trying to upset anyone.....but for those who are soppy enough they will know that there is nothing like a good sob when in the mood......my first is ( please add if yer must )

Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and loving body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

I'll get along you'll find another
But I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow...

Billy Jo Spears
