3 influential songs

My first song choice is I'll be missing you- Puff Daddy because when the song first came out, I told my aunt that I was going to play this at her funeral, I was probably 9. She passed away a year later when I was ten, but because I was so young and didn't really have a say in the funeral, I never got to play it. So whenever the song comes on, I know she's around letting me know she's thinking of me and missing me too.
-Life ain't always what it seems to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone
We still a team
Through your family I'll fulfill your dreams
In the future can't wait to see
If you'll open up the gates for me
Reminisce sometime
The night they took my friend
Try to black it out but it plays again
When it's real feelings' hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still livin' your life after death

My 2nd choice is Getting Jiggy With It by Will Smith, for smiliar reasons. My aunt really liked this song and it reminds me of her.
na na na na na na na nana
na na na na nana
gettin jiggy wit it
repeat 3x
what you wanna ball with the kid
watch your step you might fall
trying to do what I did
mama-unh mama-unh mama come closer
in the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub, unh
no love for the haters, the haters
mad cause I got floor seats at the Lakers

My Third Song is A broken wing by Martina McBride because my aunt and I always listened to it. When she first passed away, I would constantly sing this on the top of my lungs.
She loved him like he was the last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down, then come lovin' up on her
Give a little, then take it back
She'd tell him about her dreams, he'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin', you'll never leave the ground
He said only angels know how to fly
And with a broken wing she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky

As you can see, all three songs reflect times when I was with my Aunt or reminds me of her because she was a big influence in my life and an even bigger one when she passed away.
