Songs that make the tears flow

The Crystal Chandeliers, Carl Belew, it was Dad's favourite song, even though he usually got the words wrong!
La Vie en Rose, Edith Piaf, Mum loved it and I had it played at her funeral.
Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon & Garfunkel, I don't know why, but it reduces me to a weeping mess!

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU
AFTER LOSING MY HUSBAND OF 45 YEARS SHORTLY BEFORE CHRISTMAS EIGHT YEARS AGO I STILL HAVE TO WALK OUT OF SHOPS BECAUSE THEY ALL SEEM TO PLAY IT.

Yes oh yes <<sniff>>

West side Story- There's a Place Somewhere
Eva Cassidy- Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Abide with me

Instantly become a blubbering mess!

Daydreamer by David Cassidy

I've never cried so much over a song as when my DD1 and her daddy (my late DH) danced at her wedding to 'I Loved her First' by Heartland.

Also since losing DH, 'I'll see you again' by Westlife, 'I would give everything I own' by Bread, amongst others, have brought me to tears.?

Bette Midler's Wind beneath my Wings, always brings a lump to my throat, it was my wife's favourite song, and my wife was the wind beneath my wings.

We played Love is Like a Butterfly at my mums funeral in April this year. She loved her music and this song just seemed so appropriate. It does bring the tears to my eyes but in a happy way.

I've got tears in my eyes, just from typing that.

Seasons in the Sun, yes.
Autumn Leaves

But especially 'Those were the Days'....so nostalgic

"You are my heart's desire" Richard Tauber. My late husband used to sing it every morning to test his hearing aid was working. Also Folks who live on the Hill.

Bridle Hanging On The Wall.

Danny Boy. How this extremely mawkish Irish song ever manages to do it, but I cannot listen to it without tears flowing. I have an Irish Grandmother - perhaps that's why.

"Slipping through my fingers" by ABBA. Because my DGD is nearly 12, and lIves overses. ....
And "I know you by heart" by Eva Cassidy.

The Green Fields of France says it all about the young lives lost through war and never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

She walked through the fair (Sting does good version) if memory serves.

Slipping through my fingers by Abba, but the one that gets me is John Denver singing "For You". Such beautiful lyrics. "Just to wake every morning with you by my side, just to offer a prayer each day for you"

"Slipping through my fingers" for me too, David 1968, not quite tears but a big lump in the throat.

Bijou I have a recording of Richard Tauber singing that - it's one of my favourites too!

I sang in a choir up until this year and one of the songs we sang at our concert was 'Run' by Leona Lewis. I would sing it with tears streaming down my face. It reminded me of the day I stood at the airport, saying goodbye to my son, who was emigrating to Australia. I didn't want to make a fool of myself at the concert so I tried to de-sensitise myself by listening to it and singing it over and over again. It worked - our Musical Director was chuffed to bits when she couldn't hear me sobbing all the way through the song.
On the day of the concert I smiled and sang the song with dry eyes - but our Musical Director was crying her eyes out !

Noel Coward's "If Love Were All"
"Abide With Me" played by a brass band
"Softly Awakes My Heart" from Samson & Delilah and sung by Sissel
"She's Leaving Home" by the Beatles
"That'll Do" by Peter Gabriel
Willy Nelson singing "Autumn Leaves"

Songbird by Eva Cassidy just love the words I break down every time I hear it on the radio

Just reading these song titles and comments is bringing tears to my eyes
Music can bring back so many memories,
A Dozen Yellow Roses came for me today (can't remember the singer) always reminds me of my dad when he gave me a huge bunch of roses on my 21st (nearly 50 years ago)

Highland Cathedral played by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba

Both do it every time!

So many including most of those already mentioned, Johnny Cash Hurt www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFSc is especially sad.
