MamaB257 what a sad youth you had, and how lovely of that officer to sing that beautiful song to you!
I have several songs that affect me, but in a different way - the film " Kramer vs. Kramer" - my husband and I were in a doomed marriage, and I was working the 3 - 11 pm shift as a nurse, so he had all the evening childcare. We walked out of that film and he literally said "So, I can get custody when we divorce" and chills went down my spine. He did in fact get custody and although I had my son at holidays it was never the same. When I see that film come on television I still get those chills.
