Woops! I forgot to mention mine....I am by NO means a flag-waving patriot, but for some reason "I'm proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood gets to me big time.

I know, when you lose someone, like a father or mother , any song about love just makes you think of them and cry! Another song that makes me cry is "And Then They Do" by Trace Adkins because it's about your kids growing up and how you miss the past. My kids are 21 and 18 and it gets me everytime!

This song makes me cry.

Streets of Heaven - Sherrie Austin

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?

Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made,
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony when she's big enough.
She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.

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?

Lord, don't you know she's my angel
You got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home
Well I don't know if you're listenin'
But praying is all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too

And 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.
Lord, I know once you've made up your mind,
There's no use in beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.

The streets of Heaven.

::wiping tears away after reading the whole thread::

Couple of songs that never fail to make me cry...first is an oldie "Last Kiss"
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good ,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world .
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road straight ahead ,
A car was stalled , the engine was dead .
I couldn't stop , so I swerved to the right ,
I'll never forget the sound that night .
The screaming tires , the busting glass ,
The painful scream that I heard last .
Chorus
When I woke up, the rain was pouring down ,
There were people standing all around .
Something warm flowing through my eyes ,
But somehow I found my baby that night .
I lifted her head , she looked at me and said ;
"Hold me darling just a little while ."
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss ,
I found the love that I knew I had missed .
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight ,
I lost my love , my life that night .


And another I heard this summer, reminds me of the Sept. 11 plane that went down ...

Artist/Band: Dusty Drake Lyrics
Song Lyrics: One Last Time Lyrics
Album: Dusty Drake

When she picked up the telephone,
His voice came on the line.
She said: "This can't be happening,"
An' tears fell from her eyes.
She said: "What am I supposed to do?
"I can't handle losin' you."
He said: "I just had to call to say goodbye,
"One last time."

He said: "There are some things in this life,
"That are out of our control.
"Like who we fall in love with,
And when it's time to go."
An' she said: "What about the plans we had?"
He said: "This connection's gettin' bad."
"Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
One last time."

She started to apologise,
For all the things that she'd done wrong.
She said: "I would have loved you better.
If only I'd known."
He said: "You were the perfect wife:
Promise me you'll go on with your life."
She said: "The boys won't understand."
He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong, whoa."

He said: "Honey, I've gotta go."
She said: "Don't you dare hang up.
There's so many things I need to say.
I love you so much."
It was almost like she felt him leave.
She cried out: "Can you still hear me?"
She fell down on the kitchen floor,
When the signal died,
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
One last..

Lately, this song makes me cry:

"sometimes love just ain't enough"
Performed by: Patty Smyth (with Don Henley)
Written by: Patty Smyth and Glen Burtnik

I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change

[chorus]

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay

And there's a Danger in Loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

This song always tears me up.

The Dance
By Garth Brooks


Lookin' back on the memories of
the dance we shared beneath the stars above.
For a moment, all the world was right.
How could I've known that you'd ever say 'good bye?'

And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end
the way it all would go.
And our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I'd've had to miss the dance.

Holdin' you, I've held everything.
For a moment, wasn't I the king?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall,
Hey, who's to say, you know, I might have changed it all.

And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end
the way it all would go.
And our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I'd've had to miss the dance.

Yes, my life is better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I'd've had to miss the dance.

Listening to Al Green's How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.

This song played the day that I discovered that my first love had moved....despite sending him letters and calling his house he was going on with his life, but I still hung on. One day, I took the bus from Philadelphia to Allentown to see him; by the time I had gotten to his apartment, his neighbor informed me that he and a woman had moved out. It took three years to completely get him out of my system, and I hope to never cry like that over a man again.

"Reunited" by Peaches and Herb

This was "our song" when I was madly in love with the guy who broke my heart the most. Always takes me back and makes me kinda sad.

Patti Smith: Farewell Reel

This song is on the Gone Again album; Patti made the album after losing her husband and brother within a month of each other. The entire album is transcendant, pure, and 100 percent Patti Smith.

[this little song is for Fred: it's G, C, D, and D minor]

It's been a hard time
and when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours

I walk alone
assaulted it seems
by tears from heaven
and darling I can't help
thinking those tears are yours

Our wild love came from above
and wilder still
is the wind that howls
like a voice that knows it's gone
cause darling you died
and well I cried
but I'll get by
salute our love
and send you a smile
and move on

So darling farewell
all will be well
and then all will be fine
the children will rise
strong and happy be sure
cause your love flows
and the corn still grows
and God only knows
we're only given
as much as the heart can endure

But I don't know why
but when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours

But I look up
and a rainbow appears
like a smile from heaven
and darling I can't
help thinking that smile
is yours

Reba McIntyre/ If I Had Only Known

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

The song that Martina McBride sang on the CMA's was a real killer. It was called IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYES. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house after she sang that. Especially the mothers.

If I really need or want a good cry, I listen to this one. I always imagine I'm singing this to all those who I have loved and still have lingering thoughts of...but, I am triumphant in the end with the new day beginning...

Memory - Sarah Brightman

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her mem'ry?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Mem'ry
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was
Let the mem'ry live again


Ev'ry street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning


Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new life will begin


Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning


Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my mem'ry
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun ...

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Trevor Nunn, after T.S. Eliot.
Show: "Cats" (1981/1992).

For me, it's that song by Enrique Iglesias about Hero's (I can't remember the name of the song right now, I'm having a brain cramp) Is it "I Can Be Your Hero, Baby"?

I volunteer for an organization that trains service dogs for the physically disabled and those with siezures. On graduation night, they do a slide show of the recipients and their new dog partners from their two weeks here and learning to work with their dogs to that song.

Every time I hear it, I think about how the song in that particular presentation was how the dogs were telling their recipients that they could be their hero's and I have to pull over and bawl every time. OK, I'm crying now and I'm at work! LOL

They truly are special animals that bring so much to their recipients lives. The picture that stands out most clearly to me is one of a little boy hugging his new partner and both dog and boy are "smiling" and the dog has on a Varsity hat (a famous hot dog/hamburger joint here in Atlanta). The dog is sitting, the boy is standing up and the dog's head comes to the same height as his head. I believe that he was autistic.

The first time I heard "Butterfly Kisses" I was driving on the highway at 65 mph, I had to pull over to the side of the road because I couldn't see anymore because of the tears.
