[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been crying about "Cat's in the Cradle" since the first time I heard it when I was about 8.  (I was a sensitive child.)
[b]There was also a song about some kind of whizzing, buzzing toy that also made me cry.[/b] [/quote]

The Marvelous Toy, by Tom Paxton?  I actually think it's a very sweet song, sort of the opposite of Cat's in the Cradle - I do react emotionally to it, but more happy than sad.  Kid gets a magical little toy from his Dad, loves it his entire life, and eventually gives it to his own son.  We have a picture book version of this song, really fun to read with the kids.  "It went [i]zip[/i] when it moved, [i]bop[/i] when it stopped, and [i]whirrr [/i]when it stood still ... I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will".

Tom Paxton has several tearjerkers, though.  Check out The Bravest, about firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11 - told from the point of view of someone who was saved by them.  "Now every time I try to sleep, I'm haunted by the sound of firemen pounding up the stairs while we were running down".  Sends chills down my back every time I hear it.[/quote]
