FYI- Cats in the Cradle is a Harry Chapin song. I think people associate it with Cat Stevens cause of the Cat use. Good song though. [/ QUOTE ] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfjIsCCJOWQ The music set to this particular video has much meaning to me in regards to both my father and my son.

Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
I am profoundly moved by The Beatles 'Golden Slumbers' (or more properly the three joined songs on Abbey Road that start with 'Golden Slumbers') in a very profound way. It's like the perfect song about fatherhood and being in a family, and what being a real and devoted father and husband is all about, warts and all, without being overt about it in any way.
Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep pretty darling do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Boy, you gotta carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you gotta carry that weight Carry that weight a long time I never give you my pillow I only send you my invitation And in the middle of the celebrations I break down Boy, you gotta carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you gotta carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Oh yeah, all right Are you going to be in my dreams Tonight? And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make.

Wooden Ships
Crosby, Stills and Nash If you smile at me I will understand 'Cause that is something Everybody everywhere does in the same language I can see by your coat, my friend You're from the other side There's just one thing I've got to know Can you tell me please, who won? Say, can I have some of your purple berries Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now Haven't got sick once Prob'ly keep us both alive Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be Silver people on the shoreline let us be Talk'n 'bout very free, and easy Horror grips us as we watch you die All we can do is echo your anguished cries Stare as all human feelings die We are leaving, you don't need us Go take a sister, then, by the hand Lead her away from this foreign land Far away, where we might laugh again We are leaving, you don't need us And it's a fair wind Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder Guess I'll set a course and go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQAWqT_R5NI

Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
When I was 34 my mother died I felt that my life was almost over, that there was no point in buying anything, going or doing anything. To that end "Dust In The Wind" can make me cry nearly every time I hear it. The lyrics are so simple, but so true.
I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moments gone All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in the endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground 'tho we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Now, don't hang on nothing last forever but the earth and sky It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind So true, these words, so true.
