Midlifer | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 09:46 am     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. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 09:49 am     I love that song too Gidget. Reminds me of my Mom. my favorite line is "You gave me faith cause you believed" oh crap no I have tears in my eyes just thinking about the lyrics. |

Mamie316 | Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 04:19 pm     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! |
Lostintheglades | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 04:52 am     Mamie - Mine are 20 and 17 and that song is a great one. Time goes so fast! How come they age and I don't??? LOL |
Mamie316 | Friday, October 24, 2003 - 12:41 pm     I'm with you Lost! I don't FEEL like I am getting older! |
Jhezzie | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 12:23 am     Lonesome Day from Bruce Springsteen. By the way, that cat song....sniff...I hope I never hear it when I'm behind the wheel. It could be bad, lol. |
Geekgirl | Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 09:29 am     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. |
Sunnyone | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 08:43 am     ::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.. |
Resortgirl | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 11:09 am     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 |
Sisalou | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 11:28 am     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. |
Mamie316 | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 12:19 pm     The Dance is a real killer! I cry everytime I hear it! |

Sweetbabygirl | Saturday, November 01, 2003 - 12:03 pm     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. |
Max | Saturday, November 01, 2003 - 02:56 pm     "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. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 01:04 pm     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 |
Reader234 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 01:19 pm     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 |
Mamie316 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 10:55 pm     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. |
Sweetbabygirl | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 08:09 am     Seems like every song is making me cry today....shit, I hate breaking up. |
Mamie316 | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 08:26 am     I'm so sorry Babygirl. And when you are down, it seems all the radio plays are those sad love songs. Sending you love and hugs! |
Kstme | Tuesday, November 25, 2003 - 09:30 am     {{{SBG}}} I'm so sorry! |
Janell | Wednesday, November 26, 2003 - 04:28 am     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). |
Rabernet | Wednesday, November 26, 2003 - 06:20 am     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. |
Ohiomobprincess | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 06:48 am     I'm not sure of the title, but I think it's "I Hope You Dance". That song makes me bawl like a baby |
Ladytex | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 09:59 am     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. |
