What Song Makes You Cry?

Jan | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 10:07 am     Autumn Leaves The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hand I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hand I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall |
Daydreamer | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 10:28 am     One song that makes me cry is an old song called "Misty". I'm not even sure who the person is that did the original recording but I think it might have been Nat King Cole. This might sound a little odd but you have to know the story behind it to understand. My grandfather used to be a singer in the 30's and 40's and he continued to sing at family weddings, parties, etc until he passed away in 1991. Misty was one of his favorites. A few years before his death, he recorded the song at one of those places where you can go and make a recording. Everyone in the family got a copy. Sometimes when I need a good cry, I will put it on, it makes me cry every time. I was at my Mom's for Thansgiving and she had on a Johnny Mathis CD with Misty on it and sure enough, it made me think if my Grandfather and I got a big lump in my throat. That song can make me cry no matter who is singing it because it reminds me of my Grandfather. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 12:22 am     Jan.. that also gets to me.. it was my aunt and uncle's "song". When I hear Stardust, I remember my mom playing it on the piano. Kathy Mattea's "Where've You Been?" always turns on the waterworks for me.. about an elderly couple who are just lost because they are each in the hospital "in seperate rooms on seperate floors" after living together and never sleeping a night apart.. |
Tess | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 12:34 am     Seamonkey, to this day I cannot listen to "Where've You Been?" without just sobbing. It breaks my heart all over again each time. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 12:35 am     WHERE'VE YOU BEEN J. Vezner & D. Henry (c) 1989 Claire had all but given up [D Am7 D] When she and Edwin fell in love [G4 G D/F# Em] She touched his face and shook her head [D Am7 D] In disbelief, she sighed and said, [G4 G G4 B7] "In many dreams I've held you near [Am7 Bm7] Now, at last, you're really here." [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G] He asked her for her hand for life [D Am7 D] And she became a salesman's wife [G4 G D/F# Em] He was home each night by eight [D Am7 D] But one stormy evening, he was late [G4 G G4 B7] Her frightened tears fell to the floor [Am7 Bm7] Until his key turned in the door. [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G] They'd never spent a night apart [C] For sixty years she heard him snore [Em] Now they're in a hospital [C /b] In separate beds on different floors [Am D] Claire soon lost her memory [D Am7 D] Forgot the names of family [G4 G D/F# Em] She never spoke a word again [D Am7 D] Then one day, they wheeled him in [G4 G G4 B7] He held her hand and stroked her hair [Am7 Bm7] In a fragile voice she said, [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I'm just not myself when you're away. [C D Em] No, I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D C (G)] I just tried to update the lyrics, and my misspelling of separate and after pulling out all the chords, it timed out... so you get the chords and lyrics.. |

Ddr1135 | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 06:37 am     Bonnie Raitt I can't make you love me (M. Reid/A. Shamblin) 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 |

Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 07:39 am     Aw damn, D.! I used to hear that song a lot when it finally dawned on me that my ex was a straight up a-hole and I needed to move on....the second verse always tore me up. <runs crying from folder> |
Landi | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 10:30 am     my dh and i saw kathy mattea on our first anniversary at Luther Burbank Cengter in Santa Rosa. we were lucky to have third row seats. it's a very intimate venue. it was the first time she'd sung "where have you been" in public. you could have heard a pin drop. the audience (and kathy) were crying once she sang the last verse. and do this day... the minute it starts... i can't stop crying... oh to have a love like that...<sigh> |
Mamie316 | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 12:14 pm     The song "I Believe" by Diamond Rio is a real killer for me. It always makes me think of my dad. |
Twiggyish | Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 01:28 pm     I don't remember if I listed this one..but, "Dust in the Wind" always gets to me. "Dust In The Wind" Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind I close my eyes Only for a moment, then the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind It's the same old song We're just a drop of water, in an endless sea All we do Just crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Life's too short brothers and sisters Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Don't hang on Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and sky It's there always And all your money won't another minute buy Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind Life's too short brothers and sisters Dust. . . all we are is dust in the wind Open your eyes you've acquired quite a bit Keep your balance don't you slip It could all end instantly as you will see Time waits for no one, it just moves on There is a white one Who won't accept the black one Who won't accept the yellow one Who can't accept the white. . . When will we learn That all we are is dust in the wind Time for the healing to begin All we is are dust in the wind Time for the healing to begin All we are is dust in the wind Everything is dust in the wind |
