Hand me those Kleenex, will ya? (Some Sad Songs for Alexdg1)
Jul 24 '05
The Bottom Line ....
You know how we women are. We love to have a good cry. Sometimes it's brought on by some sappy movie or maybe by a Nicholas Sparks book. It is the songs, though, that make us boo-hoo the longest and the strongest. Alex wants to get us all teary-eyed with the music that rips our souls apart. You realize that you owe me a box of Kleenex now, don'tcha, Alex?
The first song that came to my mind with this topic was done by a favorite artist of mine, Cher. I remember singing this song over and over when I was going through an emotional divorce.
If I Could Turn Back Time
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
~~~~~~~~~
This next song was performed by the wonderful Smoky Robinson and the Miracles. One of the hazards of having a sense of humor is on the occasion that other people may not realize when you are being completely serious.
Tears of a Clown
Now if there's a smile on my face,
it's only there tryin' to fool the public,
but when it comes down to foolin' you;
Now honey, that's quite a different subject.
But don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression.
Really I'm sad.
I'm sadder than sad.
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad.
Like a clown I pretend to be glad.

Being a fan of Abba, (keep your scoffing to yourself), I couldn't help include this one. It's had me in tears more times than I could count.
One Of Us
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
~~~~~~~~~
Harry Nilsson makes me cry every time with this one.
Without You
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore
~~~~~~~~~~~
Last, but not least, is the one I find myself singing the most often lately. He knows who he is. It is by the wonderful Diana Ross...
Someday We'll Be Together
Someday we'll be together
Say, say, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
You're far away
From me my love
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Say, someday (some sweet day) we'lll be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
Although I thought of including this Beatles classic instead.....
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?
That one gets to me every time.

Well, Alex, you have me sitting here in a ball of pity, crying my eyes out. Send me that new box of Kleenex as soon as you can, ok? You may want to pick up some extra boxes when I tell folks that they can read all of the entries right here.
Thanks for letting me join in....I think....sniff....
