This is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard... it is originally from the 50s or so but has been redone a few times... the one I always listen to is the pearl jam version.
Last Kiss
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven so I've 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 ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swirved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The squealin tires the bustin glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
When I woke up the rain was pourin down
There were people standin all around
Something warm runnin through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
She lifted her head she looked at me and said
"Hold me darlin just a little while"
So I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I'd found the love that I knew I had missed
Now she's gone eventhough I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
I don't know the reason that this song sticks with me the way it does. It may be because I can get a little sappy when it comes to music. It could be because this song is really sad and I can relate to losing someone you love (though I have never had anyone that I was dating die, let alone die in my arms). But it is one of my favorite songs of all time and if you haven't heard it... you should.
