Mmmm, the song that always makes me cry is Natalie Merchant's "Beloved Wife"... it aint subtle but it's very moving. It's probably copyright but I'll put it on anyways, maybe I'll just omit a word somewhere...

You were the love for certain of my life You were simply my beloved wife I don't know for certain how I'll live my life Now alone without my beloved wife

Oh I can't believe I've lost the very best of me

You were the love for certain of my life For 50 years simply my beloved wife With another love I'll never lie again It's you I can't deny It's you I can't defy A depth so deep Into my grief Without my beloved soul I renounce my life As my right Now alone without my beloved wife *bridge* My love is gone, she suffered long, in hours of pain My love is gone, and now my suffering begins My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should Surrender all the joy in my life Go with her tonight

My love is gone, she suffered long, in hours of pain My love is gone, would it be wrong if I should Just turn my face away from the light Go with her tonight
