That song reminds me of my step-daughter. I still cry when I hear it.

As cliched as it is, it's Summertime for me. Although it's about a million other things as well.

Quote:

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

The best song about leaving home must be "Leaving Home Ain't Easy" by Queen - it's actually one of the few songs that brings a lump to my throat when I hear it. Brian May's finest hour as a songwriter.

I take a step outside
And I breathe the air
I slam the door
And I’m on my way
I won’t lay no blame
I won’t call you names
’Cause I’ve made my break
And I won’t look back
I’ve turned my back
On those endless games

I’m all through with ties
I’m all tired of tears
I’m a happy man
Don’t it look that way?
Shake the dust from my shoes
There’s a road ahead
And there’s no way back home
Ohh but I have to say

Leaving home ain’t easy
Oh I never thought it would be easy
Leaving on your own
Oh is the main thing calling me back?
Leaving home ain’t easy
On the one you're leaving home

Stay my love my love please stay
Don't stray my love
What’s wrong my love?
What’s right my love? Ohh

Leaving home ain’t easy
I thought how could I think of leaving
Leaving on your own
Still trying to persuade me that
Leaving home ain’t necessarily the only way

Leaving home ain’t easy
But may be the only way
