CaP'N GRuNGe Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 J. Frank Wilson Lyrics Last Kiss Lyrics [Chorus] Oh where oh where can my baby be The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven soI got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road straight up ahead A car was stalled the engine was dead I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night The screaming tires the busting glass The painful scream that I heard last [Chorus] WHen I woke up the rain was pouring down There were people standing all around Somethign warm flowing through my eyes But somehow I found my baby that night I lifted her head she looked at me and said Hold me darling just a little while I held her close I kissed her our last kiss I found the love that I knew i have missed Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight I lost my love my life that night [Chorus] Woh (x4) Ohh (x4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I immediately thought of this one from the 80s: (Sang from the little girl's point of view. The line "please don't tell my daddy, but my mommy hits me too" gets my goose each time. Still remember the song 20 years later) A couple others Alphaville - Forever Young (Cold War - Russia nuking us) Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumors (teen suicide) Jason Michael Carroll - Alyssa Lies (child abuse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) Morning Dew - various artists. Simple and sad. Has moved me to tears on a couple of occasions. I actually had to go look up who wrote it. Bonnie Dobson is the name credited as the writer. Edited December 10, 2007 by Kid Cid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 IT doesn't work on me, but how about the country one about Momma meeting Jesus on Xmas eve - ya know, the one with the kid and the shoes? Gets my wife every time, so I turn it off if I hear it coming on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 johnny cash, long black veil Ten years ago, on a cold dark nightSomeone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife Chorus She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
