You're All I Need - Motley Crue (because I know the story behind it)
Estranged - Guns N Roses (because it reflects a sad memory of my life)
Estranged - Guns N Roses (because it reflects a sad memory of my life)
Hands down, every single time, no matter where I am when I hear it:
Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton.

AT THIS MOMENT
Words & Music by Billy Vera
What did you think
I would do At This Moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more
What did you think
I would say At This Moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now, come on, you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When Darlin' I love you
And you know, I'd never, never hurt you
What do you think
I would give At This Moment
If you'd stay, I'd subtract
Twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again

I'm like that too -- I'm a sucker for "Amazing Grace." I honestly could not get sick of that song, ever.Originally Posted by Mom of Franz
When I was reading the thread What Movies Make You Cry, I couldn't help but wonder what songs make me cry. Dozens of classical pieces make me weep especially Beethoven. However I was thinking more along the lines of popular music or music with lyrics. So what tunes make you weep? Just some crying trivia..I'm reading a book, 40 Ways to Look at Winston Churchill. Turns out Churchill was a copious weeper...did you Brits know that? I, for some reason trust people who cry easy. Here's a few of mine...
What a Wonderful World-- Louis Armstrong
In My Life--The Beatles
Tomorrow--from the musical Annie, even though I just made a bit of fun of it on another thread
O' Sacred Head Now Wounded--16th Century hymn
American Tune--Simon and Garfunkle
Onward Christian Soldiers--lol for an agnostic I love a lot of hymns
Oh and I almost forgot another hymn...Come All Ye Faithful. When carolers would come to sing in the hospital during Christmas, I would find an empty room to hide in when the sang that, cause I would cry like a baby..big heaping sobs.
Oh I Love that one to, but I just love Eric Clapton, I just got his new CD and it's greatOriginally Posted by Agent_Haun
Oh yeah, I forgot about this one!Originally Posted by OllyExtra05
Ben Folds "The Luckiest" gets me every single time, I can't listen to it in my car or on my ipod on the train because I will start boo-hooing like no other!
Ben Folds- The Luckiest
"I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest"
Oh - I remember them! Just thought of a couple more -Originally Posted by CyberKitten
There are a few songs that make me cry - a few really oldies like Old Rivers (about an old man and his dog) sung by Walter Brennan who himself is deceased now - I dled it! Also, Honey by Bobby Goldsboro...
