Can anyone name a good song about missing someone that isn't about a lover situation?

This one still always gives me goosebumps. An absolute classic. Maybe it’s not quite what you want but it’s a great song. Not just about missing a lover.

Well, that’s ruled out a hell of a lot of good songs. Why would you miss someone you didn’t love? I wrote something close, about missing how a person was in a time they were more carefree, tell me if it fits the bill.

Hey Ed no public stuff man. Breaks fluther rules.

You’re not alone by Olive is one of my favorites.

@EdMayhew Looking for a song for my daughter not a lover or boyfriend.

@Pandora Eh? Read the answer. I got that, hence why the link is to a song about my sister and brother, who are most certainly not my girlfriend or boyfriend or both…

@Mr_A Really? people link stuff all the time, sorry if it breaks the rules. Unfortunately I can’t edit it now so I’ll trust fluther mods to take it down if I’ve done wrong

@EdMayhew I was responding to the second sentence you wrote.” Why would you miss someone you didn’t love?”
I guess I should’ve been clearer. But asking people to find a song about loving your daughter, I figured would be really difficult. Since most songs are about lovers and friendships.

@Pandora I assume you love your daughter?

sorry, overly flippant I know

@Pandora A song about siblings is the best I can do I’m afraid xx

@EdMayhew You didn’t break any rules, your link was fine.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities thanks

Nat King Cole — Unforgettable

Butterfly kisses or My little girl

Carole King — Child of Mine

It’s not about missing someone, but wishing them the best in life. I love “I Hope You Dance”

Celine Dion did a beautiful one called “A Mother’s Prayer”

Have you heard a song called “In My Daughter’s Eyes” ... real tear-jerker

Well can’t listen to the Beatles or John Mayer. I could never stop reccommending John Frusciante. Not everyone’s cup of tea but very powerful and spiritual lyrics instead of romance.

Lee Harvey Oswald ; “I missed you the first time, shoot, but I won’t miss you this time”.Jack Ruby on backing vocals.

Actually the right description for my Frusciante reccommendation is: ABSTRACT!! Beautifully, hauntingly, abstract. Lyrically and musically. You can’t go wrong with these albums.
