I heard this on the radio today at a Memorial Day BBQ.  It's loaded with rhymes and syrup:  "Seasons In The Sun" by TERRY JACKS 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nnwzmf8Eyw&feature=fvst 
"Goodbye to you my trusted friend... we've known each other since we were 9 or 10... together we've climbed hills and trees... learned of love and ABCs, skinned our hearts and skinned our knees, goodbye my friend it's hard to die... when all the birds are singing in the sky... now that the Spring is in the air... pretty girls are everywhere... think of me and I'll be there...!!"   :lookingup:

This thread is for SAPPY SONGS, not songs you hate, just SAPPY SONGS.  It's okay if you hate 'em, but not necessary.  I like a couple of SAPPY SONGS (but not this one).  Unsure what's SAPPY?  Here's a definition: 
Sappy: 1. abounding in sap  2. sentimental; mawkish  3. foolish 

Got any SAPPY SONGS to post?

How about a sappy song about sappy songs?

I'll have a lot to contribute to this thread btw.  I love really sappy love songs.

Love songs, songs about feeling blue, slow songs etc.  I'd use Air Supply's collection as a starting point...

Listen to the songs; you'll figure it out.  :wink: :thumbup:  
GILBERT O'SULLIVAN "Clair" A song I genuinely like, but that'd be ridiculed today for SO many reasons, but first and foremost, it's SAPPY!!!

"Clair!  I told you before don't you dare...!  Get back into bed...!!"  :buggedout:  :bouncegiggle:  :lookingup:  :teddyr:

PAT BOONE "April Love"

El Toro Loco (BULL) removed his selection, unfortunately.  It wasn't sappy, but that's okay.

Man, this is hard for me. Air Supply was the first thing that sprang to my mind too, but then I thought of all the bands I like that have done drippy, sugary ballads and I watched some videos......But they're all awesome and don't seem sappy to me. Oh well.  :smile:

Europe - "Carrie"

yeah no.

CHICAGO "If You Leave Me Now"  
CC: You never cease to amaze me.  That song is so unbelievably SAPPY yet I never would have thought of it!!

Here's a BOBBY GOLDSBORO record I love (like, his only record and everybody loves it ~ even you haters love it...
y'wanna EAT it!)  Don't let "Honey" put you in sugar shock.

LR was simply made for this kind of music, sadly most of which I actually find enjoyable.
