Hmmm some of those song titles you have there don't sound like you're on good terms..but anyways, here's one that I've always liked:

Wild World ~ Cat Stevens

Now that I've lost everything to you

You say you wanna start something new

And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'

Baby, I'm grievin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Chorus:

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breaking my heart in two

Because I never wanna see you a sad girl

Don't be a bad girl

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there

But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Baby, I love you

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there

But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus

Leaving On A Jet Plane ~ Peter, Paul, and Mary

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn

The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you

Every song I sing, I sing for you

When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time, oh, let me kiss you

Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

Leaving on a jet plane

(Ah ah ah ah)

(Leaving) On a jet plane

I still shed a tear or two when I hear this song.

If You Leave Me Now ~ Chicago

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me

No baby please don't go

If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me

No baby please don't go

A love like ours is love that's hard to find

How could we let it slip away

We've come too far to leave it all behind

How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes we'll both regret

Things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find

How could we let it slip away

We've come too far to leave it all behind

How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes we'll both regret

Things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me

No baby please don't go

Oh girl, just got to have you by my side

No baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin, yeah

We've come too far to leave it all behind

Goodbye Girl ~ Bread

All your life youve waited for love to come and stay

And now that I have found you, you must not slip away

I know its hard believin the words youve heard before

But darlin you must trust them just once more... cause baby

Goodbye doesnt mean forever

Let me tell you goodbye doesnt mean

Well never be together again

If you wake up and Im not there, I wont be long away

cause the things you do my goodbye girl

Will bring me back toyou.

I know youve been taken, afraid to hurt again

You fight the love you feel for me instead of givin in

But I can wait forever, a-helpin you to see

That I was meant for you and you for me

...so remember

Goodbye doesnt mean forever

Let me tell you goodbye doesnt mean

Well never be together again

Though we may be so far apart you still will have my heart

So forget your past my goodbye girl

cause now youre home at last.

Bonnie Raitt - The Road's My Middle Name

I told you once the day we met

I wouldn't be your queen.

Your little darlin, sweet coquette

Just what my routine

You've been around enough to know

Theres really no one else

When I hear that siren call, baby

I just cant help myself

I gotta go

I hope you'll understand

I love you so

Want you to be my man

I hear it callin'

Sound so sweet and plain

I gotta go, baby,

cause the roads my middle name

Well, its hard enough to love someone

When they're right close to home

Don't you think I know its hard, honey

To squeeze the sugar from the phone

Guess the road is in my blood

cause I'm my daddy's kid

Just have to learn how to let me go

Just like my momma did

I gotta go,

I hope you'll understand

Oh, I love you so

Want you to be my man

I hear it callin', baby

Sound so sweet and plain

I gotta go

cause the roads my middle name

Here it come

And it sounds so sweet and plain

I gotta go

cause the roads my middle name

I gotta go

cause the roads my middle name

Oooh, I gotta go, darlin

cause the roads my middle name

Kathy Mattea - Life As We Knew It

The keys in the mailbox the U-Haul is loaded

This is the last time we'll call this place home

The cats in a cage to leave at your mother's

I'll be halfway to Ashville when you wake up alone

It's been a while since I've seen Carolina

It always was pretty this time of year

And if this is the end of life as we knew it

You won't find me living around here

I love life, as we knew it

I still can't believe we threw it away

Goodbye that's all there is to it

Life as we knew it ended today

I'll leave a number if you need to reach me

You always called when I had to be gone

I know that here in my memory

Life as we knew it still lives on

I love life, as we knew it

I still can't believe we threw it away

Goodbye that's all there is to it

Life as we knew it ended today

Life as we knew it ended today

"Leaving" by Suede

see the sun drip from the sky

mascara stains clouding your eyes

slowly the raindrop falls

see the rain fall from the day

the fire escape is leading the way

somewhere a taxi calls

you're leaving girl

to seal your fate

leaving girl

to run, run away

to see the sun

to see the light

leaving girl, live your life

i see your love has slipped from your life

the winter sun and suburban skies

are calling your name this time

i see the rain

fall from the day

the fire escapes the blues and the greys

will always remain the same

so you're leaving girl

to seal your fate

leaving girl to run, run away

to see the sun, to see the light

so you're leaving girl, to live your life

and live your life

so you're leaving girl

to seal your fate

to see the world and run, run away

to see the sun to see the light

so you're leaving girl to catch the plane

to see the world and run right away

to see the sun to see the light

so you're leaving girl to live your life

live your life

The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden

Roy Orbison - I'de be a legend in my time

If heartaches brought fame

In loves crazy game

I'd be a legend in my time

If they gave gold statuettes

For tears and regrets

I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards

And there's no praise or fame

For a heart that's been broken

over love that's in vain

If lonliness meant world acclaim

Everyone would know my name

I'd be a legend in my time

If lonliness meant world acclaim

Everyone would know my name

I'd be a legend in my time

Roy Orbison - A love so beautiful

The summer sun looked down

On our love long ago

But in my heart I feel

The same old afterglow

A love so beautiful

In every way

A love so beautiful

We let it slip away

We were too young to understand

To ever know

That lovers drift apart

And that's the way love goes

A love so beautiful

A love so sweet

A love so beautiful

A love for you and me

And I when I think of you

I fall in love again

A love so beautiful

In every way

A love so beautiful

We let it slip away

A love so beautiful

In every way

A love so beautiful

We let it slip away

Roy Orbison - I'm hurtin'

Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-ooh-yeah-yeah,

Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-ooh-yeah-yeah,

Oh, I'm hurtin'.

Felt this way,Yesterday,

Today, I keep hurtin', Yeah, hurtin'.

Time goes by, Right on by,

And I, I'm still hurtin', Yeah, hurtin'.

You walked away, And the pain began.

I knew I'd never, Love again.

Oh, my heart, Tore apart

and I'm Sure hurtin' Yeah hurtin'.

You walked away, And the pain began.

I knew I'd never, Love again.

Seems to me My destiny

Is to be Just hurtin'

Yeah, hurtin'.

Roy Orbison - Only the lonely (personal favorite)

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah

Only the lonely

Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby

There goes my heart

They're gone forever

So far apart

But only the lonely

Know why

I cry

Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah

Only the lonely

Only the lonely

Only the lonely

Know the heartaches I've been through

Only the lonely

Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow

A new romance

No more sorrow

But that's the chance - You gotta take

If your lonely heart breaks

Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

Silently closing her bedroom door

Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief

Quietly turning the backdoor key

Stepping outside she is free.

She (We gave her most of our lives)

is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)

home (We gave her everything money could buy)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years. Bye, bye

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

Picks up the letter that's lying there

Standing alone at the top of the stairs

She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone

Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly

How could she do this to me.

She (We never thought of ourselves)

is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)

home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years. Bye, bye

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made

Meeting a man from the motor trade.

She (What did we do that was wrong)

is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied

For so many years. Bye, bye

She's leaving home. Bye, bye

Free Bird

If I leave here tomorrow,

Would you still remember me?

For I must be travelling on now.

'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

If I stay here with you girl.

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now.

And this bird you cannot change, oh oh oh oh

And this bird you cannot change.

And this bird you cannot change.

Lord knows I can't change.

Bye bye baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah.

Though this feeling I can't change.

Please don't take it so badly,

'Cause the lord knows I'm to blame.

And if I stay here with you girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now.

And this bird you cannot change oh oh oh oh

And this bird you cannot change.

And this bird you cannot change.

Lord knows I can't change.

Lord help me, I can't change.

Lord I can't change.

Won't you fly high free bird, yeah.

She's Gone ~ Hall and Oates

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me

What is right for me, yeah

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooooh what will be

(Chorus)

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

Oh, why

I better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

Oh, why

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

What went wrong

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror

One less tooth brush hanging in the stand

My face ain't looking any younger

Now what I can see

Love's taken a toll on me

(Chorus)

Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

There can never be what she once was to me

Back in the day when Hall and Oates were very souful...this song gets tears from me every time...

Put another log on the fire.

Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

And go out to the car and change the tyre.

Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,

And then go fetch my slippers.

And boil me up another pot of tea.

Then put another log on the fire, babe,

And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?

Don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?

Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?

Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.

Ain't I always nice to your kid sister?

Don't I take her driving every night?

So, sit here at my feet 'cos I like you when you're sweet,

And you know it ain't feminine to fight.

So, put another log on the fire.

Cook me up some bacon and some beans.

Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tyre.

Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.

Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,

And then go fetch my slippers.

And boil me up another pot of tea.

Then put another log on the fire, babe,

And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

Please Stay-The Drifters

Don't go (Please stay)

Don't go (Please stay)

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you

Not to go but to stay in my arms

Would you walk out the door

like you did once before?

Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)

Don't go

If I called out your name like a prayer in the night

Would you leave me alone with my tears?

Knowing I-I, I love you so-o,

would you still turn and go?

Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)

(Please stay)

You took me away from the rest of the world

When you taught me to love you like this

Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom

But I still can be saved.. by your kiss

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you

Not to go but to stay in my arms

Would you walk out the door

like you did once before?

Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

(Don't go)

(Please stay)

(Don't go)

(Please stay)

(Don't go)

(Please sta-ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay)

Forever Autumn

By:Moody Blues

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

And darker days are drawing near

The winter winds will be much colder

Now you're not here

I WATCH the birds fly south across the Autumn sky

And one by one they DISAPPEAR

I wish that I was flying WITH them

Now you're not here

Like the SUN through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away

Through Autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

You always loved this time of year

Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

Cause you're not here (3x)

(Instrumental break)

Like the SUN through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on the breeze you blew away

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

As if to hide a lonely tear

My life will be forever Autumn

Cause you're not here (repeat)
