This song brings tears to my eyes...
a CHP, my fiance was shot down in the line of duty while I was still pregnant with our son, and of course that was all very sad; I've been to far too many 'cop funerals', with all their units, cruisers & bikes lined up, the bagpipes, parents & adults sorrowful trying to smile somehow, some children playing, other children crying...and they always seem to play this tune, so that this is the one that brings tears to my eyes:

1. it's a wonderful song
in the arms of an angel

it's very sad

i've seen it used in a lot of other ways because it has so many different meanings to people who hear it. the sign of a great song.

:hi: sounds like you have a lot of sad memories attached with it :hug:

5. Not long after the abandoned factory fire in December '99
where 6 Worcester, MA firefighters lost their lives, this song became the unofficial theme for those who ran into the burning building.
