Which lines from songs are among the saddest? One that I would suggest is this, from 'Changes' by Phil Ochs: "And I'll kiss you one more time, And leave you on the rolling river shores of changes." And another, from Don McLean's 'Empty Chairs': "And I wonder if you know, That I never understood, That although you said you'd go, Until you did, I never thought you would." And, from 'Softly as I leave You', sung by Matt Munro and Frank Sinatra (and others): "Softly, I will leave you, softly, For my heart would break, if you should wake and see me go."
