Vern Gosdin - Chiseled In Stone Lyrics (http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/gosdin-vern/chiseled-in-stone-13839.html - broken link)
"You don't know about lonely,
Or how long nights can be,

And you don't know about sadness
'til you faced life alone,
You don't know about lonely
'til it's chiseled in stone..."

We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away..."
(deals with the death of a child) I found it right after our son died in 2001. I didn't post any more lyrics because of copyright but the end talks of the hope you hang onto of seeing your child in heaven.
Imagine by John Lennon. It was one of my father's favorite songs to sing. My father passed away almost 17 years ago. But everytime I hear that song on the radio, I can hear my father singing it & I burst out in tears.
