Song Search for Funeral, Can You Help Me Find It?

[AnneKipankitoo]

My Mum died recently.
Years ago she picked out a song for her exit from the service but she did not write it down. I did ask her to. She did play it for me.
Some of the words were about lying down sleeping next to your partner forever or together again . It might have been from the 60s. It was a male singer.

Can anyone help?

I have picked a C&W song out that says roughly the same thing but I know it is not that.

Don’t think it was him either. Oh dear!

If she played it for you, is it among her record collection?

Is it Roy Orbison? Together in dreams?

For the Good Times?
It's by Kristofferson but sung by loads of different people.

Al Green was one of the many.

I think it was a tape. Do not have access to her things now. Her place was a nightmare.

Definitely not Roy Orbison, his voice was characteristic. It was an obscure name and song which was why I said write it down….

It is not “For the Good Times”

@AnneKipankitoo I'm so sorry for your loss and that this is making this harder.
Do you think it might help if you focus on either the artist or lyrics? An app called Shazam might help you

Thank you @watchuswreckthemic

I am going to do something else . Very time consuming.

I've had a look through songs by Matt Monro and Bobby Davin, can't immediately see anything. What year was she 18? What year did they get married?

We had Dean Martin Everybody loves Somebody Sometime and it was truly lovely. We also had Andy Williams Moonriver which I thought was going to be a bit sickly but ended up being the best song of all (must be Andy Williams though - no one else comes close!)

Thank you everyone with your help and suggestions.

Sisters of Mercy Leonard Cohen from songs of Leonard Cohen

Are you able to hum it for Google?

It might be worth asking over on Gransnet too:

Ask a gran...

Was it an engelbert humperdink song?

Maybe the last waltz?

Lay Down Beside Me Don Williams

Have you tried saying to a google home or Alexa ‘play this song’ and then sing the lyrics and tune that you know

Till the end of time? - Perry Como

I am going to use Lay Down Beside Me by Don Williams.

How about "If tomorrow never comes"? That's the first song I thought of, covered by several people, probably best known by Garth Brooks

I Wanna Wake Up With You by Boris Gardiner? Sorry for your loss 💐

The Great Unknown - Jimmy Scott?

if we never meet again this side of heaven - Johnny Cash

This thread sent me down memory lane. I loved Perry Como - I did think it was his version of for the Good Times but I see you've already ruled that out. One of my favourites of his was And I Love You So. Another singer of the time with a similar voice was Matt Monro. Gorgeous voice.
