The first two songs I agree with Barry. And Leader Of The Band reminded me of my father who was a musician.

Cats in The Cradle thank God does not remind me of my father.

"The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot" by Nat King Cole.

Flip side of the "Christmas Song".

Music & Lyrics: Mac Davis - 1972

On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had long lonely nights ahead waiting for June

Then among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands
As he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand

"Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I ain't even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you!"

Well, the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain

And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
The old man would carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful ladies for him
And they laughed a lot

But then one day on the first of June
The little girl ran to the fence... the old man wasn't there
And, somehow she knew he was never coming back
So she went back to her little room
took a crayon, And wrote

"Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I ain't even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you!

You are all describing lyrics, lyrics that are poignant, but when I think of the saddest song, I think more of a particular singer and not necessarily the words to the songs she sang. Whenever I hear Karen Carpenter singing, the feeling of deep sadness envelopes me. She had one of the most unsettling singing voices I've ever heard. I know not all share that particular feeling, but from the very first time I heard her sing, I knew I did not want to hear more. She had a very difficult life and though when I was first introduced to her songs, I didn't realize it, somehow I felt she was a very troubled individual.
