These make me cry:
Just about anything by Tammy Wynette
“Green Green Grass of Home” by Tom Jones
“Stand by Me” (only because it was playing on an oldies station locally, at the time of a high school reunion I didn’t participate well in… I showed * them, * didn;'t I? 
:()
“Je t’aime, moi non plus” by Jane Burken and Serge Gainsebourg
“The Golden Days” by Benny Hill
“In the Garden.” It’s an old Baptist hymn, very well known; even a Jewish family I’ve been acquainted with knows it. When I was a kid my father sang it, accompanying hismelf on the guitar; now when I try to play it on the keyboard and sing, I can’t finish it (I broke down just now,l in fact). He was estranged from the family in 1961, when I was 11; he dided in 1987.
i would have to agree about Mother by Pink Floyd… its really sad sometimes.
also,
how about Estranged by Guns N’ Roses

ok…my sister and I were discussing this thread & I told her that I really didn’t know of any songs that really made me cry, but after thinking about it I guess I was wrong…
a few songs that make me cry are:
“Nobody Knows” – The Tony Rich Project/Kevin Sharp
Steve Warner’s --“Holes in the Floor of Heaven” & “Two Tear Drops”
“Independance Day” – Martina McBride
and I would have to agree with:
“Don’t Take the Girl” – Tim McGraw
“Wish You Were Here” – Mark Wills
and that is all I can think of at the moment…but give me time…and I probably can think of some more…
-LiZa JaNe
“Piano Man” by Billy Joel always depresses me, and I have to admit the first time I heard “Space Oddity” (I was nine or ten) I bawled my eyes out. Same thing for “Ashes to Ashes”.
“Tears in Heaven” is a song I cannot listen to while driving. I just know I’ll have an accident, because I start crying & can’t see. “Vincent,” by Don McLean, is another one that just sets me off.
We were talking about french music in class today, and my french teacher mentioned something she once did that made her feel horrible. There’s a song by Celine Dion - I don’t know the title, but it’s in French and it is about a bird that flies away, being a metaphor for death - and she didn’t know that one of her students had recently lost her father. The girl was quite broken up, and m french teacher feels horrible about it to this day. Anyone know the song?
Blue eyes blue by Eric Clapton, off the runaway bride soundtrack
How do I live by Trisha Yearwood
If I didn’t have you by Amanda Marshall
Angel by Sarah Maclaughlan
Unforgiven
There are so many songs, most of them country, that bring me to tears, but I have to agree with Don McLean’s Vincent. It didn’t use to make me cry until I read “Dear Theo”. It is a beautiful book of letters Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother. It is compliles in chronological order so it reads like a biography. It is quite sad and the song reminds me of the things he wrote about.
How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patti Lovelace is another one that reduces me to a slobbering mess.
It reminds me so much of my mom and the closeness we have always shared. She has always been there for me to help me through the rough times and although my mom is still very much alive and healthy, hearing the ending of the song where the mother is dying and helping the daughter say goodbye, makes me think about the day I may have to tell my mom goodbye.

KITTEN
Coarse and violent nudity. Occasional language.
Think about someone you’ve lost while listening to Patsy Cline - Faded Love or Elvis - Are You Lonesome Tonight or Can’t Help Falling in Love
My favorite aunt picked out her own funeral music – Spirit in the Sky – the version by the Kentucky Headhunters – think I’ll use it too
Will the Circle be Unbroken sung by anybody but esp. the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Blind Man in the Bleachers – who didn’t bawl the first time they heard that?
I remember crying the first time I heard “In the Ghetto” (sung) by Elvis. Another one that really gets me bummed out is “The Dance” by Garth Brooks where he says he’s glad he didn’t know how things in the relationship would go so rotten because he would’ve missed out on all the beautiful times up until then.
Has anyone heard the song “Where Have You Been” sung by Kathy Mattea? I challenge anyone not to cry when they hear that.
Crazy- Linda Rondstadt>
Crying time- Ray Charles>
It was a very good year- Frank Sinatra>
Ironically, “Don’t Cry Out Loud” and “Stop Your Sobbing.” 
“Cat’s in the Cradle” always gets me. But it always gets everyone.
The ultimate is Rickie Lee Jones’ “Company” on her first album, the one with “Chuck E’s in Love”. It’s deeply mournful, and the perfect tune to play if you are grieving the loss of someone through death.
“I’ll see you in another life now
I’ll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the ages
I will miss your company”
You should hear her sing it… deadly.
I am #1. Everyone else is #2 or lower.
Boli – if we were voting, the Kathy Mattea song should win.
There’s something so touching about old folks in love.
A guy at work “lost” his mom today – she’d been ill for a long time but wasn’t all that old. They haven’t told her husband yet cuz he was scheduled for cancer surgery and they wanted him to have a reason to recover.
Is the “will to live” really that important? Must be.
A few additions:
Rocky - Austin Roberts
Honey - Bobby Goldsboro
The Homecoming - Hagood Hardy
and a I’ll second Daddy’s Hands - Holly Dunn

“If it takes a four-month old woodpecker, with a rubber bill, 9 months and 13 days to peck a hole through a Cypress log that is big enough to make 117 shingles, and it takes 165 shingles to make a bundle worth 93¢, how long will it take a cross-eyed grasshopper, with a cork leg, to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?”
Taxi by Harry Chapin
Okay, I admit that I don’t actually cry every time I hear those I listed. I just feel like it. Maybe shed a tear if I’m alone.
Yeah, even Ode To Billy Joe.
Does anyone remeber a song called “Shannon”- at least I think that’s the name. It always made me cry when I was a kid (late 70;s maybe). It was about a dog named Shannon that drowns:
Shannon is gone I hear
she drifted out to sea…
Something like that. If anyone remebers, please let me know. I’m not one to cry over songs, but that one gets to me. I cry much more over books.
