Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul & Mary

This was a favorite from my childhood.Ever since my dad died 19 years ago, I can't sing along without crying.

Send in the Clowns by Judy Collins

This is another one from my childhood. My mother used to play it on the piano. When I was little I thought it was a happy song because it was about clowns. Now it just makes me sad.

Empty Chairs & Empty Tables by Les Miserables

This one pulls at your heart strings. But it's really watching what it does to E that makes me cry.
