По поводу первого можно сказать много слов, но я приведу текст одной песни. Трудно выразить лучше (тот, кто знает, кому посвящена эта песня, да наверно и любой, знающий английский — поймёт, о чём речь)...
Little by little
I've come to this point
On my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
The days went so fast
You don't know how I prayed every day
A song to remember
A song to forget
You'll never know how I tried
To make you proud
And to honor your name but
You never told me goodbye
Now that your are gone
Casting shadows from the past
You and all the memories will last
Don't you cry
Or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
Don't you cry
Angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
See you through
Now I'm a man and
I'm feeling you still
Could it be you were there all along
A time to surrender
A time to forgive
With solace I give you this song
Now that you are gone
Casting shadows from the past
In my dreams I hear your voice at last
Don't you cry
Or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
Don't you cry
Angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
I can see you tonight
In the pale winter light
Father and son again
The bond of blood will never end

Второе событие тоже выражу песенным текстом, причём той же группы.
I recall one summer's night
Within the month of June
Flowers in mahogany hair
And smell of earth in bloom
Only such a melody
Comes without a sound
More than faintly heard by those
Who know what they have found
Now it's just a memory
Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be my guiding light
Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night
Meet me by the wishing well
In cover of the moon
Whisper to me tenderly
That I will see you soon
Sing that song from long ago
So I remember you
Flowers in mahogany hair
And mellow days in June
Only for the memory
Silently we wander
Into this void of consequence
My shade will always haunt her
But she will be my guiding light
Silently we wander
In search of truth and confidence
So many hopes were lost here
Along the way
From morning to night
From ashes we were born
In silence we unite

И пусть всё закончилось и осталось в прошлом — тем не менее, остаются лишь самые тёплые воспоминания о днях, проведённых вместе...
