You beat me to that one. I love it.
The original recording (by Acker Bilk) is so, so much better Tiffany darlinā, given that he wrote it !!!
Surely one of the saddest songs ever.
But he didnāt write the words, someone else did & he didnāt like it. I love the words, they bring back bitter sweet memories to me of that time, because I had a sailor boy friend.
It was played at my dadās funeral, almost brought me to my kneesā¦
Beautuful song.
Yes it was.
I know how you feel.
Oh, I know it is upsetting folks, but still, bringing back those memories helps us also to remember the good times too.
I actually asked a lot of people to recall songs that made them cry, I also asked them what songs made them happy. I got far more recalled on this theme, then the other.
We played this at my OHās funeral as it was the last CD, War Of The Worlds, he was listening to it.
