God knows there's plenty of reasons to be engulfed by sadness, bereavement to name just one.
Tony Bennett sings, Isn't it a Lovely Day. It's a great life! he says. And then qualifies his statement with, Well, think of the alternative... it's a lovely day!

In sorrows plight I held your tears;
Releasing yourself with each one shed…
Gathering every piece of you within;
I listened to every word your heart has said...
Speaking into the pain of your broken dreams;
I then took your teardrops into the soul of me...
To show you love & the beauty of tenderness;
I embrace you within the visions of love I see...
