Ooh yeah, great song... You've got me curious - gonna search for that live version.

If you can't find it, let me know... I'll set you up.

Amazing Grace, when done expertly, and song right..

And the Star Spangeld Banner, but they have to be done right, may not bring me to tears but I feel sad or I feel sad of joy...

The only musical piece that make my cry is "The Last Post" but generally I only hear once a year, if that.

"If I Saw You in Heaven" -  Eric Clapton.

I have no idea how the man can even sing this song as it was written after his own son's death.  I can't listen to the whole thing...it really gets to me.

"Send in the Clowns" makes me cry too, but probably for a different reason than it makes you cry

It was my mother's favorite song. Always makes me think of her.

Your turn.

Unforgettable and Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole - because they were played at my grandfathers funeral.

What, 17 posts and no 'Cat's in the Cradle'?  Or bagpipes playing 'Amazing Grace'?

Look again.

Had a fiance once named Anna - this song hits way too close to home


Counting Crows...



Anna Begins


My friend assures me "it's all or nothing"
I am not worried- I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me " for one time only,
make an exception." I am not not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried - I am not overly concerned
with the status of my emotions
"oh", She says, "were changing."
But were always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
and I guess I'm going to have to live that
but, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray
or something in between
and I can always change my name if that's what you mean
My friend assures me "it's all or nothing`
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell your self the things you try tell your self to make
yourself forget
to make your self forget
I am not worried
"If it's love" she said, "then were gonna have to think about the
consequences"
She can't stop shaking and I can t stop touching her and.....
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering
for days" she says.
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
The time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing
She s talking in her sleep-it s keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and and
oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It s chasing me away.
She dissappears, and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Here's one that has not been mentioned yet.

You know it, but you might not be able to place it...


Same Auld Lang Syne  
Dan Fogelberg
1981
Epic Records

 
Met my old lover in the grocery store,
  The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
  And I touched her on the sleeve.

She didn't recognize the face at first,
  But then her eyes flew open wide.
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
  And we laughed until we cried.

We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
  The food was totalled up and bagged.
We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
  As the conversation dragged.

We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
  But couldn't find an open bar.
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
  And we drank it in her car.

We drank a toast to innocence,
  We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
  But neither one knew how.

She said she'd married her an architect,
  Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
She would have liked to say she loved the man,
  But she didn't like to lie.

I said the years had been a friend to her,
  And that her eyes were still as blue.
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
  Doubt or gratitude.

She said she saw me in the record stores,
  And that I must be doing well.
I said the audience was heavenly,
  But the traveling was hell.

We drank a toast to innocence,
  We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
  But neither one knew how.

We drank a toast to innocence,
  We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence,
  Another 'Auld Lang Syne'...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
  And running out of things to say.
She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
  And I watched her drive away.

Just for a moment I was back at school,
  And felt that old familiar pain...
And as I turned to make my way back home,
  The snow turned into rain....

"Billy Don't be a Hero"

I well up, start grabbin for the tissues and begin blubbering every time    


The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
 "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
 "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
   And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
 "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on, boys"
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
 She said
 "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
 "Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
  And as he started to go she said "Billy, keep your head lo-o-ow"
 "Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away

Just for correctness sake Curv, the song is "Tears in Heaven", not trying to be a smart arse or anything.  Good song.
