I agree with GUEST, in fact he/she beat me to it in quoting 'Gloomy Sunday'. I also find 'Danny Boy' has tear jerking qualities when one realises that Danny is being spoken to by a dying lover, who says that her grave will be warmer when she hears his prayers. My parents were both strongly afected by jimmie Rodgers' @Whisper Your Mothers Name'. Iwould also submit Ewan MacColl's 'Joy of Living' written by him when he knew that his time was growing shorter. He refers to his wife as "dearest companion" and adresses the most affecting line to his children, "Farewell my chicks, now you must fly alone". As a father and grandfather that line had me in tears. The song is a masterpiece, written by a great artist and humanitarian.
