A SOng That Makes Me Sad

This is kinda easy for me...there are actually 2 that always make me cry, first is Rascal Flats Beth and then theres Three Little Pennies by Doug Stone.

Sara Beth is a tear jerker, and hits home...cancer is a huge part of my life, and this song tells the story of a girl battling cancer, its one of those songs that tells a story, it breaks my heart, makes me smile and then makes me think of my brother. My brother is terminally ill, I think of all the things he will never see or do, of all the things I want to say...I love this song, but listening to it also breaks my heart and makes me so sad

Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise it just wont go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
'Til the nurse with a smile stands at the door
And says "Will you please come with me?"

Sara Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Somethings not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten it wont come back again
But with the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved it's the strongest there is
But I think we caught it in time
Sara Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancin' around and around
Without any cares
And her very first love
Is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara Beth is scared to death
as she sits holding her mom
cause It would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
Yet She cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
Sara Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancin' around and around
With out any cares
And her very first love
Was holding her close
And the soft wind was blowing her hair

It's quarter to seven
that boy's at the door
Her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap they all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

They go dancin' around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love
Is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared
Ohhhhhh.



The Next is Three Little Pennies, its a song about a little boy who has such a big heart, he gives all he has to a blind man, and his father on Christmas morning gives him a box with 3 little pennies to give them back since he gave them up with so much heart...it makes me cry so hard, it also makes me sad because now adays its not very often that you see children give so freely and with such a pure heart, now alls you here is I want I want...this is a beautiful song...it will makes you smile, cry, feel so sad, and so happy...its beautiful and I only wish more kids were like that little boy

There was an old, blind man
Who stood on the corner down town

He was holding a cup
Filled up with nothing
From the Christmas shopping crowd
And though i barely came up to the top of his cane
I reached up and gave him
Every cent to my name.

(chorus):
Three little pennies.
Were all that i had
One that I'd found
Two from my dad
Three little pennies not much of a gift
But Dad said "that's plenty, if it's all you can give."

That evening my dad told a wonderful story to me
About a child and the manger.
The wise men who came bearing gifts on the first Christmas eve.
There was a part I'm sure he made up
About a stable boy who couldn't give much..

(chorus)
Three little pennies.
Were all that he had
One that he'd found
Two from his dad
Three little pennies not much of a gift
But Dad said "that's plenty if it's all you can give."

Next morning was Christmas
And i had prayed hard for a bike
But all that i found was the tiniest box
With three shiny pennies inside

And i was so disappointed because i had been good
But times had been bad so i understood.
And daddy said:

"three little pennies.
Were all that you had
But you gave them freely
So i gave them back
Three little pennies not much of a gift
Your bike is outside because you've learned how to give"


These are the 2 that really make me sad...I mean I also feel happy at the story, but they still have a way of really hurting
