The song Wake Me Up When September Ends is a very meaningful song to me. Billy Joe wrote this song about his father who died when he was very young. I can relate to this song because my father passed away last November, and it is one of the most painful things that anyone can every experience. My brother made a slideshow that he had playing during the calling hours and he used this song for the music, and it had everyone in tears. It is just such a moving song. I still can't even read the lyrics without crying. It's a bittersweet song for me...
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
