One of the nicest and saddest lyrics i have heard and i always sing this to my wife is by nat king cole and its called time and the river... Here are some of the words .. Dont cry.. Here goes.... Time and the river how swiftly they go bye, but my heart will beat for no other til time stands still and the river runs dry..
I always end up listening to Radiohead... Creep or anything off The Bends, not sad music but at least you realise it could be worse! Or maybe you should try an bit of Nick Drake, makes Nora Jones sound pants whichever album of hers you listen to
The Calling - wherever you will Go. Boston - More Than a Feeling. Cat Stevens - Father to a Son. Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Teach Your Children. If they don't hit the spot try Motorhead - Ace of Spades!!
