Sad Songs

There's something about those sad songs That make us want to cry Written when hearts are broken in two When someone says goodbye They play them on the radio To remind us of our pain It takes us to an empty place A place, we can't explain Sometimes it's just a memory We never want to lose We turn out the light late at night As our hearts start singing the blues They're written with pain and paper Whenever you're feeling bad A verbal tear, we long to hear A song that makes us sad There's something about those sad songs That gives us back control Written by broken hearted people And soothes a hollow soul

Larry! The saddest song is "You Lift Me Up"-That was my parent's song. Every time I hear it-where ever I am, I break down crying! My favorite line in your beautiful poem is " they're written with pain and paper." You will touch a lot of folks with this one! Gwendolen
