Dee - tears are antiseptic - they heal the hurt. thank you for this thread xx

has to be the song my father chose to have played as my brothers funeral ended Love, Love changes everything: Hands and faces, Earth and sky, Love, Love changes everything: How you live and How you die Love Can make the summer fly, Or a night Seem like a lifetime. Yes, love, Love changes everything: Now I tremble At your name. Nothing in the world will ever Be the same. Love, Love changes everything: Days are longer, Words mean more. Love, Love changes everything: Pain is deeper Than before. Love Will turn your world around, And that world Will last for ever. Yes, love, Love changes everything, Brings you glory, Brings you shame. Nothing in the World will ever Be the same. Off Into the world we go, Planning futures, Shaping years. Love, Bursts in, and suddenly All our wisdom Disappears. Love Makes fools of everyone: All the rules We make are broken. Yes, love, Love changes everyone. Live or perish In its flame. Love will never, Never let you Be the same.

Please dont laugh. Gilbert O'Sullivan Where Peaceful Waters Flow (From the album 'I'M A WRITER NOT A FIGHTER') When the world you live in Really gets you down When you feel a pain inside you Starting to pound And the girl you love She doesn't want to know Let an old friend as a Godsend Lead you to where peaceful waters flow And if the day you thought Was drawing to a close Just drags on and on till when Only heaven knows And the car you bought this morning doesn't go Let an old friend as a Godsend Lead you to where peaceful waters flow There you'll find Much to your pleasure That you haven't got a care All the worries you had in you Are no longer there Take my hand and I will lead you to a place Where the sun will warm your heart With all of its rays And the sky at night Has such a magic glow It's feeling unbelieving In a land where peaceful waters flow Where you'll find Much to your pleasure That you haven't got a care All the worries you had in you Are no longer there Follow me and I will lend you to a place Where the sun will warm your heart With all of its rays And the sky at night Has such a magic glow It's a feeling unbelieving In a land where peaceful waters flow Where peaceful water flow Take me to where peaceful waters flow Take me back where peaceful waters flow

Imagine Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one.

Abide With Me Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me. Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Sung at my dad's funeral. I will be blubbing before the Cup Final as usual. Maz. XX

Gwynne, I don't remember the incident, but I remember the song vaguely Thank you everyone for sharing your songs Sheila, as you say tears heal the hurt, and it is good to be able to share this thread with folks Dee xx

What If? - Kate Winslet Here I stand alone With this weight upon my heart And it will not go away In my head I keep on looking back Right back to the start Wondering what it was that made you change Well I tried But I had to draw the line And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind What if I had never let you go Would you be the man I used to know If I'd stayed If you'd tried If we could only turn back time But I guess we'll never know Many roads to take Some to joy Some to heart-ache Anyone can lose their way And if I said that we could turn it back Right back to the start Would you take the chance and make the change Do you think how it would have been sometimes Do you pray that I'd never left your side What if I had never let you go Would you be the man I used to know If I'd stayed If you'd tried If we could only turn back time But I guess we'll never know If only we could turn the hands of time If I could take you back would you still be mine 'Cos I tried But I had to draw the line And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind What if I had never let you go Would you be the man I used to know What if I had never walked away 'Cos I still love you more than I can say If I'd stayed If you'd tried If we could only turn back time But I guess we'll never know We'll never know

Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel

I cry at this one. My daughter rang one day and started singing it down the phone Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will make it OK There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction or a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

PAL OF MY CRADLE DAYS (1919) Recorded by: Rose Marie; Ann Breen; Jimmy Rosselli; What a friend, what a pal, only now I can see, How you dreamed and you planned all for me, I never knew what a mother goes through, There's nothing that you didn't do. Chorus: Pal of my cradle days, I've needed you always. Since I was a baby upon your knee, You sacrificed everything for me. I stole the gold from your hair. I put the silver threads there, I don't know any way I could ever repay, Pal of my cradle days. Greatest friend, dearest pal, It was me who caused you Every sorrow and heartache you knew, Your face so fair Is wrinkled with care, I placed every line that is there, Repeat Chorus: End I like this also agree with CB about Somewhere over The Rainbow but prefer it by Eva Cassidy that sends shivers down my spine!

There are two songs that were played at my cousins funeral a few years back. He was only 3 and my uncle and aunt had only recently adopted him but he touched my heart in that very short space of time and I loved him very much. UB40 - Can't help falling in love Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can't help falling in love with you As the river flows Gently to the sea Darling so we go Some things were meant to be Take my hand Take my whole life too Cause I can't help falling in love with you As the river flows Gently to the sea Darling so we go Some things were meant to be Take my hand Take my whole life too Cause I can't help falling in love with you and Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!

Wires by Athlete, Gravity by Embrace You're Beautiful by James Blunt Fix You by Coldplay Fallin by Alicia Keys

oh and just remembered this one. It was featured in an episode of ER and I fell in love with it. Beautiful song. RACHAEL YAMAGATA - 'I'll Find A Way' I'll find a way to see you again I'll find a way to see you again I used to think that anything I'd do Wouldn't matter at all anyway But now I find that when it comes to you I'm the winner of cards I can't play Wait for me, wait for me Darling, I need you desperately, desperately here And I'll find a way to see you again And I'll find a way to see you again The rain is like an orchestra to me Little gifts from above meant to say Girl, you falling at his feet Isn't lovely or stunning today Wait with me, wait with me I'm alive when you're here with me, here with me, stay And I'll find a way to see you again And I'll find a way to see you again Why do the street lamps die When you're passing by Like a hand that won't stay on my shoulder tonight If you held me close, would you laugh it away Would you dare the glance that I steal to stay And I'll find a way to see you again Yes, I'll find a way to see you again I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down
