Great thread-thought of two more:

Great discussions at breakfast!

[jubilant]

Great topic.  There are so many songs it could be but the one going around in my head this morning is:

You Raise Me Up

[pigletsmom]

Ironic by Alanis Morissette

[Imaoldhippie]

The Rose by Bette Midler

[LyndaGee]

This is fun!  Maybe "Unwritten." 

[qbetzforreal]

Sixteen Tons by Tennesee Ernie Ford

[house_cat]

DH chose, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen"... which is one of the reasons my nickname for him is "Eeyore", lol.

@qualitygal- Break my Stride by Matthew Wilder

[Gorgf]

 GEORGIA.  Either Ray Charles or Willie Nelson.

It is my first name and hated it growing up. I got teased with the Georgie Porgie or told I had a boy's name. It was not cool to have a different name like it is today.

The only one that comes to mind currently, is one I've arranged to have played for my family and friends at my funeral... hopefully way off into the future. Suits my philosophy and is also my wish for them in life. 

“I Hope You Dance,” sung by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone?)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder?)
