songs about losing and longing.

Hey guys,

I'm in need of songs that are about losing someone, or something, or about the feeling of longing for how things once were, or for someone.

It's actually meant to be about a father that had his children taken away from him. But since that's too specific, a song about losing and longing could be of great use. But, just in case you might know just the right one...

Thank you so much! :)

"Goodspeed (Sweet Dreams)" is a song written specifically about that same situation... the writer (Radney Foster) was going through a divorce and his ex-wife was taking his son to France to live there.

"Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)"

written by Radney Foster

performed by Dixie Chicks

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"

Pirate's sail and lost boys fly

Fish bite moonbeams every night

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out

Superman's in pajamas on the couch

Goodnight moon, will find the mouse

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars

God bless dad and thanks for the stars

God hears "Amen," wherever we are

And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings

Godspeed

Godspeed

Godspeed

Sweet dreams
