I had a girl i cared for deeply... Megan Marie Miller... on 1/29/2012 she died of a heroin overdose after being clean for a month... I loved her, ever so much, and never told her... and wished so badly that when her time came, i would be using a walker or a cane and walk to her coffin with a shaking in my step to say goodbye.... she just turned 18...

If this song doesn't break your heart, I wonder if you have one.

This man is a genius. He makes this look very deceptively easy. Just try to deliver a song with such honesty, and you'll find it's not easy at all

This is a very complicated song. The melody is beautiful, and some of the words are romantic words anyone would long to hear: "You're a flower, a river, a rainbow." However, as the song progresses, Newman engages in verbal irony. "I never listen to a word you say, and whenever you have a problem, I just turn away." The song can be looked at in many ways: self-delusion, the realistically flawed love of a man for a woman, or not really love at all. Beautiful song with a biting edge.

I named my daughter Angela Marie ... i was so imperfect and she was and is so perfect. This song reflects my regret and my deep love for her.

Planes, Train and Automobiles kicks me in the teeth every time i watch it. Imagine the ending with Del sitting in the station bottle in hand singing this.
