I don’t think I’m familiar with the other songs on your list, but I’ll have to check them out. I love One Day Like This.

Ill give you a sample of my favorite lines

From Long Ride Home which is about a husband driving home from his wife's funeral:

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red

From Ring on the Sill,, about a couple's engagement. I've been married for 45 years and these words still ring true.

And they're thinking of the long road ahead
and the strength that they will need
just to reach the end
And there in the silence they search for
the balance between this fear that they feel
and a love that has graced their lives

DP, these sound like pure poetry!

If you like these I have a playlist of songs about women (Portrait of a Lady) that always tugs at my heartstrings:

Village by CAM.

If you've ever lost a loved one this one is unforgettable. Written from the voice of an older brother who has died to his younger sister. But the sentiment fits any loss.
##

Claire, don't you dare believe them
I'd never leave you alone
I've been watching over you like older brothers do
Since the day you were born

I know it feels like I have let you down
But I'm still around

(Chorus)
Cause your whole heart's a village
Everyone you love has built it
And I've been working there myself
And that's where I'll be
With a front-row seat
To watch you live your life well

Streets lined with cottages and cabins
The skies are always blue
I spend my days with ghosts who all love you the most
But no one quite like I do

(Chorus)

I’ve been known to sob like a baby for:
- ABBA: My Love, My Life
- Sarah McLachlan - Full of Grace
- Taylor Swift: lmol, Ronan, and Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

Although for that last one, I tend to scream-sing Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve in the car at the top of my lungs. Great way to release any pent-up aggression. It’s like therapy. Highly recommend.

This song always makes me think of my Dad who passed away over 30 years ago. Miss my Dad so much.
