Where Did Our Love Go, by various artists. I’ve liked every version of this song, but my fave is by the J. Gelid Band:

Yes, I know that, but I was referring to his having lost the love for his wife and giving up his daughter. Sorry didn’t make that clear.

_The love between the two of us was dying  
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave  
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw  
My little daughter running after me  
Crying_

_If only for the sake of my sweet daughter  
I just had to turn back home right there and then  
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child  
I couldn’t bear to hear those words again  
She cried and said_

And yes, he was walking down a highway. Don’t know why I keep thinking he was leaving on a plane.

That reminds me of Memphis, Tennessee, recorded by many artists. The narrator’s marriage has broken up. His daughter is the only one that would call him, his wife presumably won’t talk to him.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s magnificent song, **Trilogy**.

Just about everything **Patsy Cline** ever sang. How was she not on the first page?
