This song is so beautiful, but I hate it because it makes me cry every single time. It perfectly describes the relationship between my mother and myself, and makes me feel incredibly guilty by reminding me of all the wasted time we could have used, and just thinking about having to grow up and leave home and everything. I'm crying just thinking of it now!

Still, that just shows what a brilliant song it is - having this effect on people. :) Also I should say when I say 'hate' I don't mean 'hate'. I just don't like it making me cry and that. :P

I am exactly the same way - feeling that way about the time I've spent with my mother. Sniffle. It's a beautiful song.
