Those sad sad songs that make you want to cry...

[nyadrn]

We all know them..  those sad sad songs that make us want to cry but that we love to listen to 

[ada0442]

With the way things are today, there's only one song that brings a tear to my eye:

God Bless The USA   By Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life

And I had to start again with just my children and my wife

I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away 

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

GOD bless the USA

From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee

Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA

Well, there's pride in every American heart

And it's time we stand and say                                                                                                                         
That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

GOD bless the USA 

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today

'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

GOD Bless the USA

The land of the free because of the brave!!!!!!

I never understood how this song became so popular. That's the most depressing song that I ever heard, so much so, I'd turn the radio off when it played! It wasn't the only one from that era, though. Thank goodness for The Beatles!
