[video=youtube_share;4PxC3zZ2Mus]http://youtu.be/4PxC3zZ2Mus[/video]Some of you might remember, Free To Be You and Me, from the 70's. They always made us sing this song in school and I always cried, then they would have my brother come out of his class and try to make me stop crying. Maybe they should have just stopped forcing us to sing this song. Maybe that would have made me feel better.
"Someone Else's Star" by Bryan White. It's about making a wish to find love, but it seems only other people get that wish answered, so you must be wishing on "Someone Else's Star"
It is definitely not a happy song, but for some reason I've always like it since it came out back in 1994 (wow, I can't believe that song is now 20 years old!!!).

Speaking of old sad country songs................. I think I know the ultimate sad song from Hank Williams ("Little Paper Boy"), which I remember hearing my father play often when I was a child (my dad is the biggest Hank Williams fan), and even before I started caring about music, this song always made me sad (I think I even cried a couple of times).
(warning, this song is very sad).

Richard Strauss: 'Im Abendrot' ('At Sunset')
Text: Joseph von Eichendorff
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]Wir sind durch Not und Freude
gegangen Hand in Hand;
vom Wandern ruhen wir
nun überm stillen Land.
Rings sich die Täler neigen,
es dunkelt schon die Luft.
Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen
nachträumend in den Duft.
Tritt her und laß sie schwirren,
bald ist es Schlafenszeit.
Daß wir uns nicht verirren
in dieser Einsamkeit.
O weiter, stiller Friede!
So tief im Abendrot.
Wie sind wir wandermüde--
Ist dies etwa der Tod?
[/TD]
[TD]We have through sorrow and joy
gone hand in hand;
From our wanderings, let's now rest
in this quiet land.
Around us, the valleys bow
as the sun goes down.
Two larks soar upwards
dreamily into the light air.
Come close, and let them fly.
Soon it will be time for sleep.
Let's not lose our way
in this solitude.
O vast, tranquil peace,
so deep in the evening's glow!
How weary we are of wandering---
Is this perhaps Death?

This isn't a song, but a music composed by the famous composer, Ennio Morricone - "Chi Mai", that can bring tears by listening to it alone:

(it was later used in a famous French movie,"The Professional (1981)", along with his other compositions, like "Le Vent, Le Cri", etc.)
