This one isn't too sad unless you know the story behind it. After knowing the background and then hearing the song, I dare someone to find a sadder song.
Keith Whitley was married to country singer Lorrie Morgan but was eventually divorced from her. At some point he became an alcoholic, but he evidently never fell out of love with her. He had a studio in his home and this is a rough recording of an unreleased song that he himself recorded on the night he died. It is the only version of the song ever recorded.
He died alone of alcohol poisoning the night of the recording.
