"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
I mean come on!
Weird to me! No offense, everyone hears things differently! But Bridge Over Troubled Water to me is so so so beautiful and not sad. It makes me cry kind of but in that overwhelmed with love kind of way. I sing it to my son at night sometimes, he loves the Johnny Cash version too.

Cat's In the Cradle is flat out depressing. Bridge Over Troubled Water is not sad.
Agree. The lyrics to BOTW are heartwarming.

All of Harry Chapin's songs are depressing and sad:
On the Road to Kingdom Come - a young man is barred from seeing his girlfriend only to find out at the end that it is because she is his half-sister
Taxi - Two former lovers meet accidentally and find out that neither achieved their dreams and both are living empty lives
Corey's Coming - story about an old man who tends the nearly abandoned railroad station. No one befriends him until one young man listens to his stories but is told all his stories including the one about the woman, Corey, who comes to visit him on the train are false. When he dies, the young man is the only visitor at his grave site until Corey shows up. The one positive is that the young man now tends the railroad station and Corey comes to visit him.
Flowers are Red - a little boy has his active imagination crushed by a horrific teacher and turns into a drone without imagination
I could go on, but Harry Chapin writes the most depressing and sad songs ever.
For the record, his wife wrote some of them. :-p

This shows my age, but I can never think of this song without then President Carter's talking about it in an interview, and his thinking it was entitled "Lust in the Wind".
