What is the saddest song you have ever heard?

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

For me it is a song called
Emily-Zac Hacker

It's a song that could make any parent hug their child.


Here is the only place on line I know where the song can be found.

"Hurt" Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

HOW FAR IS HEAVEN

How far is Heaven let's go tonight I want my daddy to hold me tight A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day It was time to meet him when she heard her mommy say Come to mamma darling please do not cry Daddy's gone to Heaven way up in the sky. Chorus: How far is Heaven when can I go To see my daddy he's there I know How far is Heaven let's go tonight 'I want my daddy to hold me tight. He was called so suddenly and couldn't say good bye I know that he's in Heaven we'll meet him bye and bye The little girl trembled her little tears she could not hide She looked up toward Heaven and then she replied. Chorus:


***********************************

Is this the one, BOO?

Missing In Action
Ernest Tubb

The warships had landed and I came ashore,
the fighting was over for me evermore.
For I had been wounded, they left me for dead,
a stone for my pillow and snow for my bed.
The enemy found me and took me away,
and made me a prisoner of war so they say.
but God in his mercy was with me one day,
the gate was left open and I ran away.

I returned to the old home, my sweet wife to see,
the home I had built for my darling and me.
The door was left open and there on a stand,
I saw a picture of her and a man.
The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale,
my darling was wearing a new bridal veil.
Then I found a letter and these words I read,
"Missing in Action", She thought I was dead.

So I kissed her picture and whispered good-bye,
my heart was breaking but my eyes were dry.
I knew it was too late for her now to learn,
I knew she must never know I had returned.
A vagabond wanderer forever I'll roam,
because there was no one to welcome me home,
The face of my darling no more shall I see,
for Missing in Action forever I'll be.

Pfft You Were Gone hard to listen to...and not tear up

Those were the days of GOOD TV

"Hurt" Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I always liked Johnny Cash, but I did like to hear him sing that song or watch it on a video. It was the last one he did, and he seemed to be in so much pain that it was almost unbearable to see him like that.

[mvlnewlex]

It is sad. The video is hard to watch.

The song is so powerfull. A person can reach the point where they need to see themselves bleed, just to remind themself they are still alive. fighting fire with fire. fighting pain with pain.

been there.

[NYBuckeye96]

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton. He wrote it after his son died.
