This Seals and Croft song destroys me in about 1/1000 sec. From that point on I can't shut down the flow from my eyes.

If you wish to give it a listen just copy/paste to the location bar without "< >".
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
DO NOT Listen if you've not found healing in the issue of abortion

From the album UNBORN CHILD (1974).
:angel: :angel: :angel:
Oh little baby, you'll never cry, nor will you hear a sweet lullabye.

Oh unborn child, if you only knew just what your momma was plannin' to do.
You're still a-clingin' to the tree of life, but soon you'll be cut off before you get ripe.
Oh unborn child, beginning to grow inside your momma, but you'll never know.
Oh tiny bud, that grows in the womb, only to be crushed before you can bloom.

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over.
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over.
Stop, turn around, go back think it over.

Oh no momma, just let it be. You'll never regret it, just wait and see.
Think of all the great ones who gave everything
That we might have life here, so please bear the pain.

Mama stop! Turn around, go back, think it over.
Now stop, turn around, go back, think it over.
Stop, turn around, go back think it over.

I listened anyway (sorry) :blink: Didn't have the same effect on me that it has on you, it raised my hackles somewhat.

Below isn't a song, but a poem (is this allowed?), since we're (loosely) on the subject of babies. I cannot read this without melting, and it is a sensitive subject for me at the present time.

Wean Me Gently by Cathy Cardall

I know I look so big to you,
Maybe I seem too big for the needs I have.
But no matter how big we get,
We still have needs that are important to us.
I know that our relationship is growing and changing,
But I still need you. I need your warmth and closeness,
Especially at the end of the day
When we snuggle up in bed.
Please don't get too busy for us to nurse.
I know you think I can be patient,
Or find something to take the place of a nursing;
A book, a glass of something,
But nothing can take your place when I need you.
Sometimes just cuddling with you,
Having you near me is enough.
I guess I am growing and becoming independent,
But please be there.
This bond we have is so strong and so important to me,
Please don't break it abruptly.
Wean me gently,
Because I am your mother,
And my heart is tender.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin,Dance me through the panic til I'm gathered safely in,Lift me like an olive brance,be my homeward dove, Dance me to the end of love.....Thank you Leonard Cohn for this beautiful song,and thank you Madeleine Peyroux for such a gorgeous cover.....

This poor guy got drafted and was sent someplace that he could not talk about. His girlfriend wanted to cut off their love affair. Now, he is bereft of his love and Hurt. :boohoo: His breaking heart cannot let him concentrate on the work he has to do. He finds he is Mr. Lonely.

You're going way back with those Citrus. I haven't heard those since I was a littler fella.

Cool! In that case LS you, & others (all) might find some real heartbreak & tragic emotional upheaval with this one. She cried, when I told her...

Here's the follow through..Jay & The Americans/The Shangri-Las; Del Shannon; The Lettermen, I like this one from The Lettermen for its refinement in presentation. Exquisitely harmonic.

This is so sad, caught out on the edge of hopelessness.

Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin’ soft upon my skin. like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light
All I’m takin’ is your time. help me make it through the night.
I don’t care what’s right or wrong, I don’t try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight.
And it’s sad to be alone. help me make it through the night.

I don’t care what’s right or wrong, (yes, I do !)
I don’t try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow. lord, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight.
Lord, it’s bad to be alone. help me make it through the night.

I know that song. It's Ray Stevens. Quite lively for a sad song.

Another link broken due to copyright issues so here is a live version of Tank Park Salute.

Oh this song just kills me: Whiskey Lullaby :boohoo:
