Subject: RE: Songs that Move Powerfully
Somewhere along the Road, Albert's Pretty Flowers,The First Time (that took some getting through at first) and yes, If I Had a Son. However I do manage to sing those but still havn't managed to sing a song my mother said would be good to sing to the 'oldies', she was 80 at the time and died in 2001 and I have her on tape singing it for me.
It's called 'When I Leave the World Behind' by Irving Berlin I think - as I get older it seems more poignant.I even have a copy of the sheet music but still havn't managed to sing it through.
