we've covered movies, so what songs make you cry?

edwins_girl · May 2009

One that always gets me is Daughters by John Mayer- only because my dad died five years ago. And Mike and the Mechanics song The Living Years- I also believe this is because I lost my dad. You?

surprisebaby4us2009 · May 2009

butterfly kisses... long story with my grandpa.. ugh... happy thoughts... happy thoughts.

Bluesmoothee · May 2009

"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush gets me every time.

SAMANTHAGP · May 2009

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss...she has a beautiful voice...

Amber&Jesse · May 2009

That dam Jason Mraz song...I'm Yours

miemie20 · May 2009

holes in the floor of heaven

"The Mama song" by Boyz II Men

2007wife · May 2009

Lately it's been "It won't be like this for long" by Darius Rucker

Also Brad Paisley's :When I get where I'm going"

SheriBT · May 2009

The Hawaiian sounding version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

amaladominique · May 2009

Dance With My Father~ Luther Vandross.

Two reasons: First, I lost my "Daddy" ie. Grandfather about five years ago and we used to dance in the kitchen to old '45's.

Second, I met my biological father at 23 years old and we only reconnected for a year and a half off and on. The relationship wasn't what I had hoped it would be and we have parted ways.

This song just makes me soooo emotional!

Jason'swife · May 2009

Tim McGraw- Don't Take The Girl

And that new one about how "it won't be this way for long". I have no idea who the artist is, but it gets me every time.

Mars*Bars · May 2009

Darius Rucker - It Won't Be Like this for Long Crying

DSteed-to-be · May 2009

Butterfly Kisses (listened to it with my dad not long before he died 10 years ago when I was 16)

sometimes Fire and Rain by James Taylor gets to me (Dad's favorite singer and he was a JT cover musician for local gigs when I was a baby)

and that stupid sappy "Letters from War" song on the Christian station by Mark somebody...

cedens · May 2009

hey there delilah by plain white t's

it reminds me when dh and i got our rottie 2 years ago! he got a bread box (works at a restaurant) and put her in our front seat and buckled her in! she was sooo tiny....i can't stand it...when i hear the lyrics it reminds me of her being so precious and the tear works start!

LaneyM · May 2009

i've always lost it during "Cats in the Cradle", especially the original version...can't remember the guy's name who sang it, tho...

allie_smalls07 · May 2009

My wedding song My Best Friend by Tim McGraw and Sailing by Christopher Cross which was played at my Grandpa Ollie's funeral...ugh ok stop now getting choked up!

Jamie Sonnenleiter · May 2009

I cross my heart by George Strait. What was once a touching loving song breaks me down. It was the song of my ex DH and I. I just feel sad when listening to it, because it once actually described us and meant something. Now it's just a song.

Jason'swife · May 2009

Oh God. Those too.

"The Mama song" by Boyz II Men

this literally gives me chills--- wat an awesome song...

we were gonna have dh dance to this w/ his mother (but he opted out of it at the last minute- they've had a rough relationship- divorce and all)

MrsWanee · May 2009

a really sad song (that just makes me depressed, but not cry) is "on your way" by eastmountainsouth. it's this guy telling his ex how much he loves her, but that he hopes her next bf makes her happier than he ever could.

i always get chills from "i'm already there" by lonestar. songs don't really make me cry though unless i'm already really sad and then it's not really the song, just my mood.

babyjoy09 · May 2009

the scientist by coldplay and no ordinary love by sade, matchbox 20 has one that kils me can't remember the name

Darius Rucker - It Won't Be Like this for Long

Okay, I just googled the lyrics for this song and now I'm bawling. Thanks for that. :-)

Don't Take The Girl - good one good one Yes Crying

Vixey529 · May 2009

"It can't rain all the time" from the Crow

Look what you've done by jet and part of your world from the little mermaid (reminds me of my SD)

Most Jack Johnson songs these days, since I get all sentimental now that I am pregnant!

mikeandjen · May 2009

Ditto Brad Paisley's "When I Get Where I'm Going". Especially the part about walking with his granddaddy, and he'll match me step for step....waterworks every time I hear that. Okay, I'm crying now just thinking about it!

one_more_girl · May 2009

Theres this country song I have heard on the radio a few times...."it won't be like this for long". It's about a dad watching his little baby girl grow up, and seriously I am already tearing up just thinking about it. I ball like a little baby when I hear that song and think of DH with our little girl!

mollymurphy · May 2009

So cheesy, but it was more of a timing thing: Far Away by Nickelback...it was being played on the radio every five minutes right after my DH left for a yearlong deployment (our first.) Ugh.

katypresson · May 2009

Carrie Underwood - Just a Dream

Tim McGraw - My Little Girl (my dad and I danced the Father-Daughter dance at my wedding to this)

pinkle08 · May 2009

So I'm really into Country right now and there are some of the new ones. I saw God today by George Straight. Your going to miss this. And a really old one called Daddy's Hands!!

endlessdelirium42 · May 2009

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera. My dad loved this musical and ever since he passed 13 years ago I can't listen to that song without crying. There are other songs that I can't think of right now, but that one never fails.

Sugar Honeybiscuits · May 2009

Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt...it was my Mom's favorite song and we played it at her funeral. *tears up just thinking about it*

SheriBT · May 2009

Also, I forgot, Let It Be by the Beatles. Not sure why..

one_more_girl · May 2009

OK seriously I am now full out crying just reading the names of some of these songs and thinking of the lyrics. Glad I'm at home and not at work reading.....
