The song by John Michael Montgomery--about the little child and his parents die and he goes to a new home and goes to Sunday school and see's a picture of Jesus.

I thought of this thread last evening when I heard the song by Vince Gill...Whenever You Come Around. The timing was right in tune with my emotions for the evening, and I let the tears flow....

There's a song called "The Christmas Shoes" about a little boy who is waiting in line at a department store with a pair of women's shoes in his hand. He looks to the person behind the counter and tells them that he wants to buy the shoes for his mom who has been sick for a long time. His father has told him that she doesn't have much time and the shoes are a going away present for her.

Everytime I hear it, I cry.

The other song, is another Christmas song, called The Cat Carol, by Merryn Ord

The cat wanted in to the warm warm house,
but no one would let the cat in
It was cold outside on Christmas Eve,
She meowed and meowed by the door.

The cat was not let in the warm warm house,
And her tiny cries were ignored.
'twas a blizzard now, the worst of the year,
There was no place for her to hide.

Just then a poor little mouse crept by,
He had lost his way in the snow.
He was on his last legs and was almost froze,
The cat lifted him with her paw.

She said "Poor mouse do not be afraid,
because this is Christmas Eve.
"On this freezing night we both need a friend,
"I won’t hurt you - stay by my side."

She dug a small hole in an icy drift,
This is where they would spent the night.
She curled herself 'round her helpless friend,
Protecting him from the cold.

Oooooo

When Santa came by near the end of the night,
the reindeer started to cry.
They found the cat lying there in the snow,
and they could see that she had died.

They lifted her up from the frozen ground,
and placed her into the sleigh.
It was then they saw the little mouse wrapped up,
she had kept him warm in her fur.

"Oh thank you Santa for finding us!
"Dear cat wake up we are saved!"
..."I’m sorry mouse but your friend has died,
there’s nothing more we can do.

"On Christmas Eve she gave you her life,
the greatest gift of them all."
Santa lifted her up into the night sky,
and laid her to rest among the stars.

"Dear mouse don’t cry you are not alone,
you will see your friend every year.
"Each Christmas a Cat Constellation will shine,
to remind us that her love’s still here."

Oooooooo

The Luther Vandross song "To Dance with My Father". That song is so the relationship that I had with my father. He's been gone for 23 years now but I miss him everyday. And I know as much as I miss him, my Mom misses him so much more. That song kills me everytime I hear it.

I know what ya mean Mamie...any song that has anything to do with parents makes me cry. I lost my dad when I was 15 and my mom died of a broken heart about 4 years later. (It was actually cancer but I'm sure it was brought on by the stress.)

Oh...and sad animal songs like "Jake"..sorry, I am really bad with who sings them.

What makes me cry? Depends on my mood and how far advanced this menopause thing is? :)

Sometimes it a movie, like "Pay it forward." Sometimes nothing. Sometimes I cry at just watching the "joe Boxer" commercial. But lately, it's been every time I talk to the long lost son away at college. I never realized just how much I'd miss his voice......

also the song desperdo, by the eagles. my dad had learned to play the piano not long before the end of his life, and it was this song that he was so proud of. he passed away over 4 years ago, and the song makes me think of him.

Aus10..I am so like you. I cry at anything. I always have been emotional. I cry at Hallmark commercials and movies and disney but I notice as I have become perimenopausal, that I am even worse! It is hard having our children grow up. Sometimes, you just wish they were still babies.

Oh..Mamie...not a baby. Mine was so colicky (is that a word) and a real pain as a toddler. I think the terrible 2's kicked in around 12 months and lasted until he was in 3rd grade. LOL...But then around 3rd grade he became such a great kid.....and now I love talking to him. He's got such a great dry sense of humor unlike his mom....but he can have me rolling with laughter...and I miss that....now I'm gonna cry again.....ARGH!!!

Oh, don't cry. My son is 21 and my daughter is almost 18. And I love them at this age. You can have these great conversations and truly enjoy them! But you also have to realize that we had a hand in making them become who they are and why we enjoy them so much! You may not see him all the time but you can always talk to him and I'm sure there will come a time when you see him much more and enjoy his company even more so!

LOL....I cry at the drop of a hat anymore. This from a person who usually just doesn't cry. Funerals, broken bones, and catastrophy's usual don't affect me. Until...I'm blaming it on the black cohosh...I'm crying but at least I'm not hot flashing now! :)

lol Aus....I haven't experienced too many hot flashes yet but the mood swings...oy! I get angry, then I cry, I get angry, then I cry...you get the picture. I've always been a cry baby but it is so much worse now.

:) I used to have what my son would call my "semi-annual breakdown." Hubby would be away on business, and the pressure would be on my shoulders, then the car would break down, my job would get horrible, and every major appliance in the house would go on the fritz at the same time...and I'd lose it. I'd just sit down and cry very hard for about 5 minutes. That 5 minute cry would be enough...until 6 months later. It's probably a good thing he's off at school....He'd probably call it mom's semi-daily breakdown now! :)

Today, it was Come What May by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman from Moulin Rouge. I was listening to it on my headphones on my morning walk, got all choked up and teary-eyed. (sheesh, must be pms!)

After The Love Is Gone, by Earth, Wind And Fire.

It was 1979, and our family drove my brother from Philadelphia to Rutgers College in New Jersey. That song was playing as we were driving back to Philly, and I was in the back seat crying all the way home.

Hearing it now only saddens me, as my brother and I aren't as close as we were back then.

Because You Loved Me

Not about a lover for me, about unconditional love from my father.

My favorite line "You saw the best there was in me."

SBG, I'm sorry that it makes you sad. Maybe it could spur you to get closer?

Gidget, that's how I view that song as well.

Mak1, Come What May is what my daughter and new son-in-law danced to at their reception.

And even if it is PMS, enjoy!
