Oh here's another one... "Have You Even Been In Love" by Celine Dion. I first heard this on the car commercial with Celine Dion in it. You can hear her singing this in the background as the camera focuses on her smiling at her son. I have a one-year-old son and, to me, this reference is just SO beautiful, because he IS the love of my life! I heard it this morning and the tears just kept coming! Happy tears! :-)

(Yes, I know...I've been so manipulated by the media...)

Awwwwwwwww, Eliz....that's beautiful!

I have a few songs like that, where the words are so pure and emotional that you automatically tear up.

Endless Love, Brian McKnight's Love Of My Life, Des'ree's Kissing You and Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman by Bryan Adams immediately come to mind.

Tears From Heaven, for reasons stated above... Amazing Grace (basically because it is always played at funerals, and the Scottish bagpipes play it so sweetly...) There is another song about a mom who dies, and is watching her daughter thru the floor of Heaven, hear that every now and again... Reba McIntyre wrote a song for her band members that died... "If I'd only known" that'n really gets to me as a close friend died the same day... and he was a theatre person in Chicago, so I also cry when I hear Phantom of the Opera, "Wishing you were somehow Here with me..."

and last week while surfing the radio I heard a song (country ok?!!) about a mom in a hospital whose child was dying, and she asked God not to take him just yet, something about isnt there enough Angels in Heaven.... I couldnt believe it, how could you NOT cry???!!!

Sentimental fool, that is meed - Holes in the floor of Heaven... lyrics page - http://members.aol.com/blueyedtom/lyrics/holesinthefloor.html

I found the song i mentioned above - - Streets of Heaven..

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/forum/messages/431.html

about a mom's prayer while her child is in a hospital room

Hello God, it's me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night.
I'm fighting back the tears as she fights for her life.
Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?

Its kinda hard to hear, maybe its just me, and my life's experiences!!

You could sing "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro; it would make her cry and make her feel all close to you and stuff.

I just cant seem to stop...

Here's Reba's song:

If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away

If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known

Call me a pansy, but I just heard I've Got You Under My Skin by the Four Seasons and I'm all teary-eyed.....the music just sounds so depressing.

Actually, I remember sniffling at Candy Girl, too.

***Disclaimer***


Men don't cry so this is kinda a pointless post. However, if I were capable of tears these would be the songs that would cause them....


How Can I Help You Say Goodbye- Patti Loveless
Can't remember many words so no quotes :o)

Lost a good friend around the time after this song came out.

Will you remember me - Sarah Mclauglan This song always makes me think of will I be missed, and will they know how much I'll miss them kinda thoughts. :o)

Quotes ... the only line that sticks anyway "will you remember me. I will remember you."


Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks Kinda chokes me up cause at the time I first heard the song I was told that they guy was singing it beause he knew he was dying of cancer. I think later that turned out to be a scam.
Quotes " goodbye my friend it's hard to die while all the birds are singing in the sky."

" goodbye papa please pray for me. I was the black sheep of the family."


First time ever I saw your face - Roberta Flack Very sentimental to me.

Quotes" First time ever I saw your face. I thought the sun rose in your eyes..."

"the first time ever I kissed your lips I felt the earth move in my hand."


Green Green grass of home - Charlie Pride This son was played a funeral for one of my 11 uncles. One of the only four I had ever met. We had a few family members get up with instruments in hand and play this (we're in kentucky folks) It was done very beautifully and anytime I hear it I can hardly contain myself.

Forever- Queen Great song about not being able to be with someone long enough. (to me anyway)
quotes... " there's no time for us. There's no place for us. What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us. Who wants to live forever..... "

"There's no chance for us. It's all decided for us. This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us."

"Who dares to love forever .... oh when love must die."

"touch my tears with your lips. Touch my warmth with your finger tips. And we can have forever."

The theme music for A Wedding Story on TLC. I don't know who sings it or the name of it but part of the words are: I will have your hand to see me thru...the years may come and go but there's one thing I know...love is all there is when I'm with you.

Also, Level 42: My Father's Shoes
Sarah McLachlan: In the Arms of the Angels
Another song that brings me to tear is: Find One Hundred Ways. Not sure if its by Peabo Bryson or James Ingram.

"To Where You Are" by Josh Groban and "Only Time" by Enya. Both songs remind my wife and I of our friends lost in the September 11 attack on the Pentagon.

On a lighter note I like "Lady in Red" by Chris de Burgh because it reminds me of the first time I saw my DW. I get a bit mushie when I hear it.

"Home Free" by Wayne Watson. He wrote it about a young mother who was a family friend dying of cancer. It was at the same time my aunt was dying of cancer and they lived in the same town.
"Out in the corridors they pray for a life
A mother for her baby
A husband for his wife
Oh sometimes the good die young it's sad , but true
But as we pray for one more heartbeat the real comfort is in you
Home Free
eventually
at the ultimate healing we will be home free
Home Free
Oh I've got a feeling
At the ultimate healing we will be home free"

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
CHORUS: Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Oh, Sas....this song was out (1993 or 1994) when I broke up with my last boyfriend.

Dang, that was the worst year of my life.

Funny you mention that, 'cause now I can sing the song throughout....used to be that I could never finish, I'd be a weepin' mess.

Same thing went for Brian McKnight's One Last Cry (although I admit to still getting sad at hearing this one...I just don't cry like I used to).

Almost all the songs mentioned above bring tears to my eyes. Right now I just want to go to my bedroom and listen to all of them and just cry my heart out. With the loss of my nephew, a good friend's son being in a bad car accident and my son going off to basic training in a month, I am so in need of another good cry.

here it is sbg just for you....

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry.....

I was here
You were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...
