[Samantha Puppy]

And So It Goes - Billy Joel

[Kfamr]

I'll catch you - The Get Up Kids
Valentine - The Get Up Kids


What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong.....

This one has something behind it.

Way back in elementary school, we had a lady who worked in the office. Her name to us was "Mrs. Patty" ... Patricia Bower. She loved cows.

Whenever one of use little kids was upset/sick, we'd go to the office. Her desk was right by the nurses office so we always stopped and talked to her. She'd show us her newest "cow things" and always make us smile.

She was truely a wonderful lady and a huge part of all of our young lives. I'm not sure how many other kids remember her or think of her, but I do constantly. In tears during my 5th grade year, we had to say good bye to her. We danced around the May Pole, her most favorite thing, as we listened to "What a wonderfun world..." her favorite song.

To make a long and sappy story short.. it always makes me think of her.. in tears and in smiles.

I can do without the "Pop star and recording artist" that hits every note on the scale and sounds like they are gargling with gasoline.

*Christian music listener here*

I keep coming across songs that have such a strong meaning to me right now, since my dad's death is right around the corner. These are some that really pull my strings...

MercyMe - Homesick Lyrics (http://www.lyricsdirectory.circularmoney.com/mercymehomesicklyrics.html)

Monk & Neagle - Dancing with the Angels Lyrics (http://www.lyricsdirectory.circularmoney.com/monkandneagledancingwith.html)

*Love you daddy* <3

[todd]

[slick]

*Christian music listener here*
Me too! I have a good friend who's in a Christian Celtic band called The Carpenters Son. They are awesome and I go to all the concerts. Here's the link to their website in case your are interested! I have both of their CD's :)
http://www.thecarpentersson.ca/

I'm such a sap that there are soooo many songs that bring me to tears. Two off the top of my head are:
Puff the Magic Dragon
Bright Eyes (from the movie Watership Down)

[PJSZOO]

I agree with all of the above. My vote goes to "The Rose" by Bette Midler. It makes me think of my mom who was killed in a bus accident when I was 10 years old.

[mina'smomma]

Have You Forgotten-Darryl Worley
I lost my best friend on 9-11. She was on the 86th floor of the first tower. She was only 23 and had just come back off of maternity leave.

Pictures-Alabama
Reminds me of the broken relationship I have with my father, and how I grew up without him in my life. The only way he has ever known me is through pictures.

He Didn't Have To Be-Brad Paisley
My step-dad who has always been my Dad, and how even at 26 I'm still his little girl.

When You say Nothing At All-Alison Krauss
The way I felt when I fell in love with Lee.

Love Me-Collin Raye
This was the song for a friend and our relationship. We broke up over something stupid, but we're still friends

The Great Divide-Point of Grace
I love the spirituality of this song, and it always keeps my faith strong.

[Denyce]

Ok yes...Puff the Magic Dragon. I can't even think about the words to that song without wanting to cry.

Also

I'm Proud to be an American. Tears of pride for me.

[swimma253]

Dance with my father again - Luther Vandross

I have to turn it off every time it comes on. It makes me so sad. :(

[pitc9]

God Bless America
Holes in the Floor of Heaven... (don't know who sings it)
The Greatest Man I Never Knew - Reba M
Remeber When - Alan Jackson

[flamepony12]

I can only think of 3 right now....

Butterfly Kisses......Collin Raye

Concrete Angel......Martina McBride

My Heart will go on......Celine Dion

I also like "Holes in the floors of heaven", it's really sad, but It doesn't make me cry.

[Twisterdog]

100 Years - Five for Fighting
Calling All Angels - Train
God Bless America
Into the West - Annie Lennox (LOTR ROTK theme)
Walk Away Joe - Trisha Yearwood

Sheesh ... I could go on and on and on. I'm a big baby about songs and movies. My son says, "Mom, have you EVER watched a movie and not cried?" Ummmm ... no. Probably not.

[micki76]

"The Little Girl" John Michael Montgomery.

Lyrics:
Her parents never took the young girl to church,
Never spoke of His name,
Never read her His word.
Two non-believers walking lost in this world,
Took their baby with them,
What a sad little girl.

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs.
Never wanted to play,
Or give kisses and hugs.
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch,
While her mom fell asleep,
And her daddy went out.

And the drinking and the fighting,
Just got worse every night.
Behind their couch, she'd be hiding:
Oh, what a sad little life.

And like it always does, the bad just got worse,
With every slap,
And every curse.
Until her daddy, in a drunk rage one night,
Used a gun on her mom,
And then took his life.

And some people from the city,
Took the girl far away.
To a new mom and dad:
Kisses and hugs everyday.

Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in,
And a small little girl,
Stared a picture of Him.
She said I know that man up there on that cross,
I don't know His name,
But I know He got off.

'Cause he was there in my old house
And held me close to His side.
As I hid there, behind our couch,
The night that my parents died.

[dukedogsmom]

Twisterdog, you've got two I really like. Calling All Angels and Feed Jake. For some reason, that song reminds me of Duke and I don't even know why.

[mina'smomma]

Bill Anderson/Steve Wariner)
(Track 2 - Time 4:29)

Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
One teardrop said to the other
I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woman in love
I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
She was so happy she just got married
I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with her glove
I could tell from the look on her face she didn't need me
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea

The other tear said we've got a connection
I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old flame
She told him they would be lifelong companions
Left him with questions and not any answers
I was on his cheek as he stood there calling her name
I could tell he had a lot of my friends for company
So I drifted on down and caught me a ride to the sea

Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
Two more teardrops somebody cried
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
And someday they'll be teardrops again
Released in a moment of pleasure or a moment of pain
Then they drift on down and ride to the sea again

Last night I sat in the waiting room
The nurse walked in and gave me the news
It's a baby girl and they're both fine
An old man sittin' not 10 feet away
Just lost his wife and he said to me
You've got a brand new angel and I've lost mine
I guess the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away
And we both wiped a teardrop from our face

Oh the ocean's a little bit bigger tonight
Two more teardrops somebody cried
One of them happy and one of them bluer than blue
The tide goes out and the tide comes in
A whole new circle of life begins
Where tears are a part of the pleasure and part of the pain
'Til they drift on down and ride to the sea again

Two teardrops floatin' down the river
Two teardrops floatin' down the river

[RICHARD]

that's it!!!!!.....The name shook the old brain lose...for some reason I thought it was stephen warner....

I guess it's true...men don't listen.

I don't tear up when I hear that song.....especially if there is someone in the car with me....;)

I guess you are the Goddess of all that is Country and Sung.:D

[Kristl]

[K9soul]

A lot of songs can bring tears to my eyes depending on my mood. I have songs I listen to when I'm feeling blue, it always feels like a release.

If Heaven by Andy Griggs

Lyrics:
If Heaven was an hour, it would be twilight,
When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn;
An' supper's on the stove and Mamma's laughin',
And everybodys workin' day is done.

If Heaven was a town, it would be my town,
Oh, on a summer day in 1985.
An' everything I wanted was out there waitin',
And everyone I loved was still alive.

Don't cry a tear for me, now, baby;
There comes a time we all must say goodbye.
And if that's what Heaven's made of,
You know, I, I ain't afraid to die.

If Heaven was a pie, it'd be cherry,
So cool and sweet an' heavy on the tongue.
An' just one bite would satisfy your hunger,
An' there'd always be enough for everyone.

If Heaven was a train, it sure would be a fast one,
That could take this weary traveller around the bend.
If Heaven was a tear, it'd be my last one,
An' you'd be in my arms again.

Don't cry a tear for me, now, baby;
There comes a time we all must say goodbye.
And if that's what Heaven's made of,
You know, I, I ain't afraid to die.

Yeah, if that's what Heaven's made of,
You know, I, I ain't afraid to die.

Still Holding out for you By SheDaisy
It reminds me of my Grandpa

[QueenScoopalot]

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton always brings tears to my eyes. I heard it was written in memory of his young son who fell out a wondow to his death. :( :(

Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers) - The song I used for RB Cody's tribute

Oh, that's such a pretty song! :(


And "Blowing in the Wind" by Bob Dylan, which was sung at my brother's funeral by his best friend.


*Twisterdog goes now in search of more tissues*

[K9soul]

A lot of very powerful and moving songs listed. I have enjoyed looking at these. An instrumental that will just about always bring tears to my eyes is the main theme song from Schindler's list... the violin solo.

There are many songs listed here that inspire strong emotion in me as well, either due to memories tied to them or just the song itself. Runaway Train, Dust in the Wind, Tears in Heaven.. I used to listen to 'Ordinary World' by Duran Duran when I was in a really down too.

[anna_66]

Follow Me - Uncle Cracker
I heard this song as I was bringing my RB Keisha back from the vets after she had passed (we burried her at home).
This phrase right here brings tears to my eyes just reding it right now:(

you won't find nobody else like me
And that's exactly how I feel now when I think about her.


And this one, it's dedicated to my sweet RB Angus:
Puff Daddy~I'll be missing you

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious they got to know that
Life ain't always what it seems to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I fill your dreams
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know you're living you life -- after death


Every step I take, Every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray -- I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break -- I'll be missing you


It's kinda hard with you not around
Know you in heaven smiling down
Watching us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
The strength I need to believe
My thoughts B.I.G. I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6th, shopping for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks, making hits
Stages they received you on
I still can't believe you're gone
I'd give anything to hear half your breath
I know your living you life -- after death


Somebody tell me why, on that morning
when this life is over
I know -- I'll see your face


Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
(repeat 3X)
Every move I make

[Andie]
