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.

But the ones that never fail to make me cry are the ones I associate with loved ones who have passed on.

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

My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion) - The song I used for RB Willie's tribute

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.

[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.

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
