Sad ( Archived) (47)

It's a good one Cincy. I have this cd so I'm very familiar with the song.

Darren - when listening to the song I think of the movie.

Another good one from Elvis is "In The Ghetto". The words are profound and fit into our world today

This one gets me all the time,I'am feeling the lump in my adamsapple reading it.
"HONEY"
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show


And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could


She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away


And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could


One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved


And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

The song about the Christmas Shoes was a sad one for me.

Heres a real tear jeaker,Dolly Parton.



Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog-a-barkin'.
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a knockin'.
I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm.
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms.

Before I could say a word she said,
"My name is Sandy. And this here is my puppy dog,
it's name is little Andy."
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress.
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said.

"Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy?
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy?

Patty cake, a baker's man, my mommy ran away again.
We was all alone and didn't know what else to do,
I wondered if you'd let us stay with you.

Giddyup Charlie horse, going to the mill.
Can we stay all night?
If you don't love us, no one will, I promise we won't cry!
London Bridge is falling down, my daddy's drunk again in town.
We was all alone and didn't know what we could do.
We wondered if you'd let us stay with you."

She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven.
That night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven.
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone.
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone.

"Ain't ya got no gingerbread? Ain't ya got no candy?
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy."

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a barkin
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a knockin
I wondered who could be outdide in such an awful storm
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms
Before I could say a word she said, my name is sandy
And this here is my puppy dog, its name is little andy
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said
Chorus:
Aint ya got no gingerbread
Aint ya got no candy
Aint ya got an extra bed for me and little andy
Patty cake and bakersman
My mommy ran away again
And we was all alone and didnt know what else to do
I wonder if youll let us stay with you
Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill
Can we stay all night
If you dont love us no one will
I promise we wont cry
London bridge is fallin down
My daddys drunk again in town
And we was all alone and didnt what we could do
I wonder if youll let us stay with you
She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven
But that night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven
God knew little andy would be lonesome with her gone
Now sandy and her puppy dog wont ever be alone
Aint ya got no gingerbread
Aint ya got no candy
Aint ya got an extra bed for me and little (whispers) andy

Sorry it too me awhile to get back to the thread.

Is your song one that Bobby Goldsboro sang?

I can hear it in my head
