Is there a song that makes you cry when you hear it?

[PrincessArky]

There is this song that just makes me cry every single time I hear it because I know that things like this happen everyday

Alyssa lies by Jason Michael Carroll

My little girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings

But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"

Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"

and she said...

"Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"

(bridge)

I had the worst night of sleep in years
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do

Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies

[Airbuswife]

I've never heard of that one, but just reading it brought a tear to my eye.

the one that makes me cry is "live like you were dyin' " i cant remember who sings it, but its a country song and it just makes me want to go out and LIVE!

Love's the only House
By Martina McBride


I was standing in the grocery store line
The one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said don't you know that more is less
She said this world is moving so fast
But I just get more behind with every day
And every morning when I make my coffee
I can't believe my life's turned out this way
All I could say was

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

He was walking by the other day and I said
Hey baby how you been?
Yeah I got me a little girl now and she's 4 years old
And she's got her daddy's little grin
And you only want what you can't have
And baby you can't have me now
I gave my heart to another
Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father and we're a family
And we've got each other
And I found out the hard way that

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walking around with guns
And they got knives with drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean, white shirt
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness
Livin' together alone, and all I can say is

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

And I can't explain it and I can't understand
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand
Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon
And senorita can't quit cryin, baby's due now any day
Don Juan left, got sick of tryin
No one there to show him the way she came down to the grocery store and
She said I, I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don't have any money
I said hey I'll cover you honey cause the pain's gotta go somewhere
Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace
So come on down to my house
Don't you know that

Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

Remember When by Allen Jackson. It's so my life story. The first time I heard it I was going through the line at McDonald's--cried like a baby. It's almost like Allen knows me it's so close to my life.

Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

"your going to miss this" by Trace Adkins

[Char]

There are four that just tear me up in a major way... big time, in fact, I turn them off when they come on, so I don't get too bummed out... unless I am 'in the mood'. OMG ! LOL! I'm tearing up just reading the lines !

Randy Travis "The Box" - It's my Dad to a tee ! He passed away in 1996
On the top shelf in the closet
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
Was a dusty wooden box that i had never noticed ‘til that night
Then we set it on the table and carefully we opened up the top
And stared into the memories daddy kept inside the box

There was a letter from mamma, when she went out to reno
To help her sister out in ‘62
And a flower from hawaii, when they went on vacation
It was the first time that my daddy ever flew

And the pocket knife i gave to him on fathers day
Years ago i thought it had been lost
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box

I guess we always knew it, but "i love you" was hard for him to say
Some men show it easily and some just never seem to find the way
But that night i began to see the softer side of someone i had lost
I saw the love he kept inside the first time that we opened up the box

There was a picture that was taken when he and mom were datin’
Standing by his 1940 ford
And a faded leather bible, he got when he was baptized
I guess no one understood him like the lord

And a poem that he had written all about his wife and children
The tender words he wrote were quite a shock

We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box

Rod Stewart "Forever Young" - 'nuff said

May the good lord be with you down every road you're on
And may sunshine and happiness, surround you when you're far fromhome
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto others as you'd have done to you

Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven with your prince or your vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young, forever young

Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away, I'll be hoping that I served youwell
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you
Win or lose
Forever Young, Forver young, forever young

Forever Young
Forever Young

Mike and the Mechanics - "The Living Years"

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I’m a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

I wasn’t there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo
In my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

Kansas - "Dust in the Wind"

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
just a drop of water
in the endless sea
all we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
nothing last forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away

And all your money
won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind

[dv8grl]

Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings... mosty because I worship BEACHES and can't watch it without crying.
And
Cat Stevens - Father & Son, because it reminds me of my dad.

Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days.
Sometimes it feels like
This world's gone crazy.
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday,
Where the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy.

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may
was a promise really something people kept,
Not just something they would say
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Whoa oh Grandpa,
Tell me 'bout the good old days.



Grandpa
Everything is changing fast.
We call it progress,
But I just don't know.
And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past,
And paint me a picture of long ago.

Did lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may
Was a promise really something people kept,
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Whoa oh Grandpa,
Tell me 'bout the good old days.

Whoa oh Grandpa,
Tell me 'bout the good ole days.

I love this song and cry every single time i play it

Coldplay's Fix You gets me everytime.

Coldplay Fix You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEYyHGbwto)




When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

[JustDoIt]

I Can Only Imagine- Mercy Me

The List- Toby Keith

Praying for Time- George Micheal

Funny how a lot of the songs mentionned are country, huh?

Ohhh, and Louis Armstrong- What a Wonderful World. Whoa, I can't even listen to that one anymore without tearing up. It was my Daddy's favorite.

[tngirl]

I Can Only Imagine- Mercy Me


I love that song and yes, it makes me cry and gives me goose bumps.

There are a lot of songs that make me cry. I have a list of songs that I call my "depressed" songs and when I need a good cry I listen to them. I know, strange, listen to depressing songs in order to feel better...lol

I don't think I could even start listing the songs that make me cry, the list would be too long.

Fade

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
the thought is too
Much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me
Just what you could do

[msmom79]

DOLLY PARTONS "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so Ill go, and yet I know
That Ill think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
Thats all I have, and all Im taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please dont cry
cause we both know that Im not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

There are several songs that make me cry --

November Rain by GNR -- makes me cry because it's a reminder of the 16 year old nephew/godchild I lost when he decided drunk driving and leaf surfing "was too cool" and he slammed his car into a tree over 3 feet off the ground in November 1996.

Rosemary's Granddaughter -- when I hear my 17 year old sing it ...it makes me cry.

Oj Rozmarnie -- it's Polish, and is a WW1 song that I can hear my Grandmother singing.

Polish AND American National Anthems -- Polish because I am Polish and I remember my Mom teaching me to sing it -- I really miss her!!! American because of the emotion tied to 9/11 (which is coming up next week -- 7 years) and how much that day made me feel so damn helpless and surreal, and yet so proud that we, smug and spoiled Americans stood together with our hands over our hearts nationwide and sang because that was the least that the victims deserved.

Proud To Be An American -- Lee Greenwood. It has always made me cry and very PROUD.

Tears in Heaven Eric Clapton

Somewhere Over the Rainbow (was the theme on the floor my son was on at BCH) The words where on a big mural outside his room they delveloped a whole new meaning for me over the years.

You can let go now Daddy

Wind blowin' on my face
Sidewalk flyin' beneath my bike
A five year-old's first taste
Of what freedom's really like
He was runnin' right beside me
His hand holdin' on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

Chorus
You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
(It's still) (It still feels) a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go

I was standin' at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I've been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked,
'Who gives this woman?'
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin' tightly to my arm
'Til I whispered in his ear

(Repeat Chorus)

It was killin' me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin' away to nothin'
In that hospital room
'You know he's only hangin' on for you'
That's what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin'
As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It's gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go

Just heard this one in the car a couple of weeks ago...boy, did it make me cry. I was driving down the freeway in S. California and sobbing all by myself.

this is the song you can let go now daddy

[atprm]

wow I have never heard that song before...


another tear jerker for me is Dance With My Father Again by Luther Vandross

[YNKYH8R]

My wife and I are BIG Nip/Tuck fans....

That's why when ever I hear "Rocket Man" by Elton John....I ball.

(My face is wet now)

[captorquewrench]

there are a lot that will tear me up sometimes, but the only piece that makes me cry almost all the time is the bach Kom Susser Tod (come, sweet death) not so much for sadness, but for its beauty and depth

[janelle]

So many of these are Country songs.

Go to www.cmt.com to see the videos.

LOL, My hubby changes the song, "When you say nothing at all" to, "When you wear nothing at all," so it makes me laugh or just roll my eyes.

[gothgirl]

Arms of an Angel by Sarah Mclaughlin

[JKATHERINE]

I always tear up at the song from Garth Brooks "The dance".



Me, too.

[JKATHERINE]

The song that ALWAYS makes me cry is "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. It is what I would have chosen to dance with my father to at my wedding, had he been alive. It seems to be a popular song for that purpose. I find it unbearable to be present for the father/daughter dance at weddings--Butterfly Kisses or not.

[JKATHERINE]

There are four that just tear me up in a major way... big time, in fact, I turn them off when they come on, so I don't get too bummed out... unless I am 'in the mood'. OMG ! LOL! I'm tearing up just reading the lines !

Mike and the Mechanics - "The Living Years"

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I’m a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

I wasn’t there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo
In my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye



This one also makes me cry every time I read it. :(

Daddy's Hand-- Holly Dunn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q_E6pUwySg
[/url]

Ohhh. That one, too. It was played at my father's funeral. Gosh, this thread is depressing!

[tngirl]

The "Living Years" reminds me of my father. I didn't know him until I was older and by that time it just didn't seem to fit for him to start giving me advice. I couldn't but help each time he tried thinking "you weren't there giving advice when you should've, too late now".

When he was dying was the most time that I had ever really spent with the man. Up until then he never really bothered to speak of things that were important. Unfortunately, he passed away before I could tell him what I had really wanted to say to him. I layed in bed one night and decided that the next day when I visited him at the hospital that I would tell him. As I was clearing away the supper dishes in a hurry so I could get to the hospital for the evening visiting hours, my sister called, he had passed away.

So, I missed the chance to tell him all the things that I wanted to say.

[ajksmom]

This one by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton we played it at my papaw's funeral and I cry each and every time I hear it no matter where I am at.

WHEN I GET WHERE I'M GOING:

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

[Repeat chorus]

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

[cheryl8]

I love all of these songs! Thanks for sharing.

Here are mine:

Ships of Heaven - Blackhawk

Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Keep the faith and be strong
'Cause through it all I've been blessed
I faced my fears
And I've passed the test
So when you look up in the sky
On a sunny day
Imagine me drifting away

I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you

Remember all the times we had
Some were great and some were sad
But you know that in the end
Our love was stronger then when we began
No unforgiven sins and no regrets
Just the times of our lives that we'll
Never Forget

I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you

I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you

When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you

On the ships of heaven
I come sailing back to you...


If Heaven - Andy Griggs

If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin on the lawn
And suppers on the stove and mammas laughin
And everybodys workin day is done

If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in 1985
And everything i wanted was out there waiting
And everyone i loved was still alive

Chorus:
Dont cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we must all say goodbye
And if thats what heavens made of
You know i ain't afraid to die

If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
Cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And hered always be enough for everyone

If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
That could take this weary travler round the bend
And if heavne was a tear it'd be my last one
And youd be in my arms again

Chorus:
Dont cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we must all say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know i ain't afraid to die

"In Loving Memory"

Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you will be here with me still

And what you did you did with feeling
And You always found the meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

Ooo's

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me

[QUOTE=keoka3;95988566]You can let go now Daddy

this gave me goosebumps

[Sweetberries]

forgot Holes in the floor of Heaven :) by Collin Raye
One day shy of eight years old,
When grandma passed away.
I was a broken hearted little boy,
Blowing out that birthday cake.
How I cried when the sky let go,
With a cold lonesome rain.
My mom smiled, said: "Don't be sad child.
"Grandma's watching you today."

"'Cos there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
"And her tears are pouring down.
"That's how you know she's watching,
"Wishing she could be here now.
"An' sometimes if you're lonely,
"Just remember she can see.
"There's holes in the floor of Heaven
"And she's watching over you and me."

Seasons come and seasons go,
Nothing stays the same.
I grew up, fell in love,
Met a girl who took my name.
Year by year, we made a life,
In this sleepy little town.
I thought we'd grow old together,
Lord, I sure do miss her now.

But there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
And her tears are pouring down.
That's how I know she's watching,
Wishing she could be here now.
An' sometimes when I'm lonely,
I remember she can see.
There's holes in the floor of Heaven,
And she's watching over you and me.

Well my little girl is 23,
I walk her down the aisle.
It's a shame her Mom can't be here now,
To see her lovely smile.
They throw the rice, I catch her eye,
As the rain starts coming down.
She takes my hand; says: "Daddy don't be sad,
'Cos I know Mama's watching now."

"And there's holes in the floor of Heaven
"And her tears are pouring down.
"That's how you know she's watching,
"Wishing she could be here now.
"An' sometimes when I'm lonely,
"I just remember she can see.
"Yes, there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
"And she's watching over you and me."

Watching over you and me.

Watching over you and me.

Watching over you and me.

Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood

makes me cry every single time!!!

[sunniekiss]

Mine is Tears in Heaven. I request that song on every anniversary of my Dad's passing.
The really "weird" thing is his & Mom's favorite song was Wind Beneath My Wings. That song has come on the radio at 9:30 in the morning every Sept 24th. That was the exact time he passed away.
I'm crying now as I type this.
