There is an old song from the late 50s about a guy with the woman he loves and they have a car wreck, she dies in his arms. Its been so long since I heard it. A couple lines go: Oh where Oh where has my baby gone? The lord took her away from me. If anyone can find the lyrics please post them. The song is called "Last Kiss" Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders Pearl Jam covered it in the 90s Where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away from Me. shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when i Leave this world. We were out on a date in my daddys car. we hadnt driven very far. there in The road, straight ahead. a car was stalled, the engine was dead. I couldnt stop, so I swerved to the right. Ill never forget the sound that Night. the screamin tires, the bustin glass. the painful scream that I heard Last. Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away from me. shes gone To heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when I leave this world. When I woke up the rain was pourin down. there were people standin all around. Something warm flowing through my eyes. but somehow I found my baby that night. I lifted her head, she looked at me and said. hold me darling, just a little While. I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss. I found the love that i Knew I had missed. Well now shes gone. even though I hold her tight. I lost my love, my life, That night. Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away from me. shes gone To heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when I leave this World. Gets me every time |

I like sad songs more than happy songs
hmm adams song by blink182 is a song that seems (in my case) almost prophetic, its like i could totally see myself as that character adam in about 10 years Adam's Song I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest who'd have known I traced the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depressed, to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over but we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never conquered, rarely came Tomorrow holds such better days Days when I could still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over I survived And I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone Also leonard cohens' song Im your man Hes the godfather of gloom, its the lonleyiest sounding song ever Im your man If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you If you want a partner Take my hand Or if you want to strike me down in anger Here I stand I'm your man If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you And if you want a doctor I'll examine every inch of you If you want a driver Climb inside Or if you want to take me for a ride You know you can I'm your man Ah, the moon's too bright The chain's too tight The beast won't go to sleep I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep Ah but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd tear at your sheet I'd say please, please I'm your man And if you've got to sleep A moment on the road I will steer for you And if you want to work the street alone I'll disappear for you If you want a father for your child Or only want to walk with me a while Across the sand I'm your man If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you |

Amazing grace, I sung most of it at my brothers' funeral. Maybe it's just because the wound is so fresh.
