sad songs

[disneychrista]

In order to have an "ugly cry" snot must be involved

I know in my case there usually is. And a pile of tissues.

This one can catch me off guard!

"Same Old Lang Syne" Dan Fogelberg

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away

Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, the taxi's waiting He's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down, so many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I'll think of you, every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say
Kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
