Cover art for The River lyrics by Garth Brooks

This song makes me sad.

I think it's been played at almost every funeral Ive ever been to. =[

lately it seems to be played at the funerals of woman that served in vietnam.also heard it at the womens memorial for the vietnam services,with a song by crstal gale"til the white doves flies along".no one has told me what is so important about the two songs and the women that served in vietnam.both songs at these memorial events have everyone in tears,even old marines like me. maybe fourpaws said it the best"that you should never give up on life,and just keep trying even if you feel like there isn't a point anymore."thank everyone of you women that served in vietnam...
