Re: what song makes you cry?

OMG Chippa, I hate that song. I don't really hate it, I think it's nice, but I hate the emotions and memories that it brings back. It always makes me cry. It's called ' Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)' and it's by Alan Jackson. I'm a dork, I like country music...

Re: what song makes you cry?

Thank you so much.

I cant take that song. it makes me cry like a baby.

Re: what song makes you cry?

I thought I'd post the lyrics of the song for those of you who don't know it.
Where were you By Alan Jackson
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters

Chorus:
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love

Verse:
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
Did you dust off that Bible at home

Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on 'I Love Lucy' reruns

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love


I thought of another song that always makes me sad. It's called 'One more day' by diamond rio here's the lyrics to that song.

Last night i had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me it could be for anything
I didnt ask for money or a mansion in malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
(chorus)
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe id be satisfied
But then again i know what it would do
Leave wishing still for one more day with you!

First thing id do is pray for time to crawl
Id unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
Id hold you every second say a million i love you's
Thats what id do for one more day with you!
(repeat chorus)

Re: what song makes you cry?

ugh that is so sad 1 1/2 yrs later and it still feels like yesterday.

We need a more cheerful subject!

Re: what song makes you cry?

Definitely 'I'm Already There' by LoneStar.
All I think of when I hear that song is the special Diane Sawyer did on Primetime Live about the widows from Sept. 11th who gave birth afterwards. They played the song while they showed the babies and their father's faces.

And:
Vince Gill's 'Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye'
Leanne Womack's 'I Hope You Dance'

and depending if I'm PMS'ing or not :
Martina McBride's 'There You Are'

Re: what song makes you cry?

'oh father' by Madonna & Selena 'I could fall in love' & 'I'm dreaming' By Selena. They all remind me of my best friend who was killed 8 years ago. Not the lyrics but I guess some how I connect those songs with her.

One More Day by Diamond Rio. It makes me think of my mom.

Last night i had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me it could be for anything
I didnt ask for money or a mansion in malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again i know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you!

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second say a million i love you's
Thats what I'd do for one more day with you!

One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again i know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you!

Jenn - that song [I'm already There] completely makes me cry, too. And 'I Hope You Dance' always choked me up bad - it was the song I danced w/my stepdad at my wedding - but, now that I'm a Mom, good lordy, I cannot listen to it!

Re: what song makes you cry?

threetwenty- i'm with you about that song 'hero' after the 9/11 news excerpts interjected into the song. another is wind beneath my wings (reminds me of a friend who was killed).

those are the 2 automatic tear jerkers. everything either comes on the radio, fi doesn't let me listen to them and changes the station.
