what song makes you cry?

Another vote for 'This Woman's Work' by Kate Bush.. such a tearjerker. Always reminds me of that 80's movie with Kevin Bacon (She's Having A Baby?)

Also, 'In Your Eyes' by Peter Gabriel (another 80's movie!)

and 'Release Me' by Pearl Jam & 'I'll Back You Up' by Dave Matthews

Women's Work always make me feel so many emotions actually. It is just one of those heart felt songs.
Where Were You is a song I find very hard to listen to, although I always do. I saw him perform it live last year and it was so emotional for me and everyone else there.
There is also a country song about a man who sends his wife a postcard from the airport that is a beach and 'wish you were here so I could see your face, the weather's nice in paradise, it's summer time all year' and on his way home his plane crashes! Days later she gets the postcard, as if he sent it from Heaven.
Just pick me off the floor.
And finally (or for now), the Garth Brooks song 'Last Dance'. It is about a man who is telling his X-girlfriend that he is glad he didn't know the last time they dance would be their final time because he would not change one minute of their time together. Again, I just tear up thinking of that.

Michele I agree with you on all those songs you said! 'Wish you were Here' by Mark Wills makes me cry along with 'Don't Laugh at Me ' (Mark Wills also).
Susans I just heard the song 'One Last Time' the other day. All I could picture was Lisa Beamer, it was sad I was crying on my way to work!

Cindy-you took mine! Lol ENDLESS LOVE makes me bawl-even if I hear just the melody-

Robeymuse-I thought i was the only one who loved that ALWAYS BE YOUR BABY! i want to dance to my dad with that @ our wedding! He says it's so emotional he can't! LOL

Also-A Song for my Daughter Ray Allistre or something-it's all about 'I can't believe my eyes today-my daughter is a bride' anyone else hear of it?

Memories - by BABS always gets me-
-AND-
I've Dreamed of you by BABS

and wind beneath by wings---

How the years go by -amy grant

i will be here-steven curtis chapman
the list goes on & on & on...........

ok so bascially every song makes me cry lol including hallmark commericials 'I'll remember you, you'll remember me' lol 'we both know how good remembering can be!' LOL

The new song by Luther Vandross. Dance with my Father...OMG...I was balling!! I wish my daddy was still here....

Definitely This Woman's Work. But also Another Auld Lang Syne...that's the Dan Fogelberg one they play every Christmas on the radio. It's not a Christmas song, really, but it takes place during that season. At the end when he sings, 'just for a moment I was back in school and felt that old familiar pain...and when she turned to make her way back home, the snow turned into rain...,' I just tear up every time.

Can someone post the words to those songs, A Womans Work and Love Me (I think it was called). I never heard them.

I danced with my Dad to 'My Daughter is a Bride'. Very sentimental song! :)

Come Away With Me, by Norah Jones...I just listened to it last night, and got all choked up!

Also another vote for that Kate Bush song, Maxwell does a pretty great version also!

Butterfly Kisses

Through the Years makes me tear, it reminds me of my Grampy Mike

shelzy it is Christmas Shoes I believe- that one's a killer!!!

ETS: I just thought of one 'Philadelphia' - by Bruce Springsteen. So sad.....and 'In the Arms of the Angels' by Sarah McLaughlin.

You know, I didn't think I was a mushy person until I started thinking of songs that make me get a lump in my throat. I've got a million!!

Some are-

Tears in Heaven-Eric Clapton
Crash-Dave Matthews
Glycerine-Bush
Angie-Rolling Stones
Possession and I will remember you by Sarah McL
Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word-E John
Gloomy Sunday-Billie Holiday
One-U2
Sugaree-Grateful Dead (not a sad song, but reminds me of a friend who was taken from us before his time)
Let Her In-Hootie and the Blowfish
I'd Rather Go Blind-Etta James

The all time tearjerker for me is definitely Seasons in the Sun. The line 'goodbye Michele my little one' is just too much for me...

'Bring on the Rain' by JoDee messina makes me cry EVERY TIME!!!
'this womans work' also!! I always think of the movie 'shes having a baby' (hehe just saw Lunatreks post... i love that movie!!!)

Lyrics----
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Butterfly kisses made me bawl the first time i heard it!!!

I have a thing against songs that are MADE to make you cry like 'where were you when the world stopped turning' and 'have you forgotten' I hate those songs!!!! (no offense to those that like them... i am just so against any song that tries to preach to me and exploits tragedy)

'Remember me this way' by Jordan Hill reminds me of my sorority. We had a lot of good times and we had a lot of bad times and that song reminds me of all the good, but I just start crying when I hear it.


Every now and then we find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
But part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
For ever more a part of me you're everywhere
I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side in all you do
And I won't ever leave as long as you believe
You just believe...

CHorus:
I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life will just be kind
To such a gentle mind
And if you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way

Daniel - Elton John

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Wow, you just reminded me of my HS Graduation song, Its So Hard to Say Goodbye 'to Yesterday'.
