"Flyaway"* - Wild horses

When the picture reappears,
It might be a thousand years,
Two young lovers the world forgot,
Two young lovers in <?>,
For the memory it fades away,
Be so careful for what you say,
For the future is placed aside,
Take one last look and close you eyes,

Flyaway,
Know that your feet, touch the ground,
Flyaway,
Know that the world gets you down,

Now the picture reappears,
It has bought a thousand tears,
Two young lovers the world forgot,
Two broken hearts is all they got,

Flyaway,
Know that your feet touch the ground,
Flyaway,
Know that the world gets you down,
..............

Emm, for my money, it's one of

Janis Ian's 'Lover's Lullaby' or "Watercolours'

The Smiths' 'There is a light that never goes out'

Scott Walker's/Jacques Brel's "If you go away"/"Ne me quitte pas" (but it's a close run thing between that an Nina Simone's version.)

And Billie Holiday's version of Frank Sinatra's "I'm a fool to want you"

That's misery-a-plenty for anyone really... :-)

FLY by Celine Dion

I believe the song was wrote about her Niece who had cancer.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
