Songs that make the tears flow

"Songbird" sung by Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie always affects me. And Bryn Terfyl singing "The Lads in their Hundreds" which I always play around Armistice Day and which always brings tears to my eyes.

Oh! and the signature tune of BBC's coverage of the London Marathon. Again I have no idea why it affects me!

I heard Bette Midler's Wind Beneath my Wings on Desert Island Discs this morning. It always moves me to tears but I have no idea why!
Another is Bruno Mars singing When I was your Man. That one makes me wonder whether DD1's idiot ex ever has any regrets over his behaviour.

Just listening to Radio 2 this morning and pottering on doing a bit of housework. DH is at work (for a change) and suddenly this song comes on the radio. It never fails to really upset me. Maybe I am just feeling particularly pathetic and sorry for myself at the minute.

Is it just me, or are there any songs that have that effect on you?
