It's me again.  You guys are wonderful!!!! I was so nervous..... I forgot to write the information about the song I was looking for :-[ :-[ :-[   Song goes like this....." you don't know what you got till it's gone..... "  Any idea?  I'm a Japanese female who loves American oldies..... Go ahead..... make a fun of me ;D But I like your humor.  Thanks!

Could it be Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell?


They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see em
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Dont it always seem to go
That you dont know what youve got
Till its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot


I think the Counting Crows also did it.
