Answer 2

Honey by (Bobby Russel) it is about his wife dying : (

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

Love & Blessings
Milly

Answer 3

Handcuffs is really sad, by Brand New, the saddest ever would be Hurt by Nine Inch Nails, i all ways used to cry when i heard that song, when Cash covered it, it was like hearing it for the first time. sad song.

Answer 4

In no particular order: Unchained Melody (before the movie Ghost ruined this song cuz this song was written for soldiers at war. Listen to the lyric and you know what I mean), "Do you Remember" by Phil Collins, "Love by Grace" by Lara Fabian, "Held" by Natalie Grant. I'm sure there are more but can't recall right now. Good question.

Answer 5

I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart by The Eels

Answer 6

Four Season of Loneliness by Boyz II Men

Answer 7

long long time by linda ronstadt was regarded in the SMH a while back as being the saddest song (a song of ultimate unrequited love)

Answer 8

I agree with Lioncourt's Starry Starry Night a song about Van Gogh Portrait,life,etc. Bye Bye American Pie would be my runner up ,or even Taxi when he meets his old love and stashes the bill in his shirt.

Answer 9

Any song with Nico is really sad. I always thought "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles was really sad, not quite sure why. If you want to be obscure, "(Baby) What Am I Gonna Do?" by The Dovers is pretty sad too.

Answer 11
