Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
I cast my votes for "Love, Me" by Colin Raye, about a boy and his grandfather dealing with the loss of a beloved grandmother.
If you get there before I do,
Don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through,
I don't know how long I'll be,
But I'm not gonna let you down --
Darlin' wait and see;
But between now and then
'Til I see you again
I'll be lovin' you
-- Love, me
Also "The Blizzard" by Jim Reeves.
Late that night the storm was gone
And they found him there at dawn.
He'd a made it, but he just couldn't leave ol' Dan.
Yes, they found him there on the plains,
His hands froze to the reins.
He was just 100 yards from Maryann
Geez, I can't even type these out without coming unglued.
