Puff the Magic Dragon!!!!

Don't think she understood it properly.

I did try and explain that mummy cries when she hears this song.

A more accurate description would be that mummy sobs uncontrollably and has to be helped to bed.

WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A SUITABLE SONG FOR CHILDREN???? (or anyone?)

did you see the singing cats there too?

Apologies guys, I wanted to bring a bit of humour into the thread as it was getting a bit maudlin, the Morrissey song is too too sad and too true for comfort

I didn't know the full Puff song either

I was crying at "morning has broken" this very morning - listening to Aled Jones' Radio 2 programme. Now that IS worth crying about! Have now cried at Morning Has Broken twice in two hours because I clicked on the link below.

Also Starry Starry Night someone mentioned.

Plus remember this one - Gilbert O'Sullivan, Alone Again Naturally. Especially the last verse - it's mental cruelty even to read it.

In a little while from now
If I?m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it?s like when you?re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that?s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn?t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can?t be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn?t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

I have just listened to Puff the Magic Dragon - it is absolutely beautiful - thank you Mamama for putting the link on this thread. I am just so hormonal (being 6 1/2 months pregnant) the tears just ran now - I have never heard the song before. It is just so sad, yet beautiful. I will listen to all the other links (songs) too.

hugs to everyone who needs one today!!
