"The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
‘Cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams Mary"

Maybe not sad so much as depressing.

Apparently there are no videos/audio for the live session version for this song, which is a LOT better than the b-side version... so this one will do:

I don't cry at songs usually but I cannot listen to the "I Will Follow You Into The Dark One." I cry almost instantaneously and refuse to listen to it for that reason haha.

Dan Seals Everything That Glitters.

To me this is a very sad song...
 
I'm not familiar with the sets of lyrics. For me, the sadness is in the melodies and in her voice. Some of these also seem more depressing than sad, but they are still some of the sadder songs I've heard.

Probably the saddest, but I'll include a few others:

bickelz, thank you for the chopin. a LOT of his music is just so sad.

Empty rooms that echo as I cliimb the stairs
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
And I wonder if you know that I never understood
That although you said you'd go, until you did, I never thought you would.

[video=youtube;4TDu2NCg93E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TDu2NCg93E[/video]

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.

[video=youtube;1qxSwJC3Ly0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qxSwJC3Ly0[/video]

And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs

[video=youtube;IdodDEELLDg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdodDEELLDg[/video]


Time it was and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, They're all that's left you

[video=youtube;Ul2hSba5pOs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul2hSba5pOs[/video]

I'll find you in the morning sun
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I don't know if they are the two saddest songs I know, but the two that popped into my head first were:

Nine Inch Nails -- Hurt

and (and I can't beleive this hasn't been posted already) Joni Mitchells River.
 
Most of the -big ones- have been posted; "Tears in Heaven" would probably get my vote for saddest ever.

Though, this song happens to remind me of a family member who is now gone...

This is a beautiful song but very sad.
