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.

Is it Cherish (the love) by Kool and the gang?

Was also going to say For The Good Times by Perry Como. Sure that's not it?

From the lyrics, one of my first thoughts was 'Last request' by Paolo Nutini- but that's only about 18 years old, so can't be that.

I hope it comes to you, OP.

Annie's song - John Denver

That is one of the other songs I have chosen @Redshoeblueshoe

how about: if it's 50s/60s

Goodnight My Love: Jesse Belvin
Devoted to You by The Everly Brothers

Forever by Billy Walker ? (There are other versions too)

That's lovely, I'm sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry about your mum, @AnneKipankitoo
This is the song that came to my mind- it’s an old standard, but there are a few versions, including a 60s version by Pat Boone

Ohhhh what about this one?? Surely this has got be a close match.

'please love me forever' by Bobby Vinton (and mentions lying down)

really hoping this might be it OP 🤞🏻

A Jim Reeves song maybe - The Night Watch?

The Billy Walker one is lovely @Justyouwaitandseeagain

You are recommending some beautiful songs on here. Thank you.

I’m sorry for your loss @AnneKipankitoo and I do t have any suggestions for you.
However, I have searched and just spent a lovely hour listening to old songs on Spotify and reminiscing about my own lovely Mum. It’s brought back some happy memories, So thanks for that and I hope you can hold on to some happy memories too ❤️

Matt Munro- Softly as I Leave You?

Lovely response ☺️This has made me smile and cry a bit. My mum died a year ago.

So sorry for your loss OP. Sending a hug.

Sorry about your mum. It’s awful when you can’t remember something like this, because you want to get it just right for her. Did she like Nat King Cole? My aunt had Starlight a played at her funeral. It’s a lovely song.

Jim Reeves - Take me in your arms and hold me?
Sorry for your loss OP x

I have no idea @Newterm . I think it was a random song she had found. I had never heard it before.

Had the funeral service and it all went very well. It was very moving.

That's good. I'm so sorry for your loss.
It does help to have a meaningful funeral.
