Don't know how to post the video but Annie Lennox song "Why" is one that always got to me.

I was in Junior High School when Cats in the Cradle came out but really couldn't stand Harry Chapin's music (American Pie, ugh) so really didn't pay attention to the lyrics. On an episode of The Middle Mike recites the lyrics to Axel when he wants to go out instead of staying home with family. Mike (Neil Flynn) you could tell was trying not to cry, had no idea the words to that song were so moving, yet true in so many families

Oh, as for Bobby Goldsboro and Honey I remember that song too, I think it was about his wife dying?
Btw, in Goldsboro the one that sang one of the most hokey, silly songs of all time, "Watching Scotty Grow"? I wonder how old little Scotty is now? About 48 or 49,I'd guess, and is he still called Scotty.
