    You and Me Against the World, by Helen Reddy, makes me cry every single time I hear it. Fake Plastic Trees, by Radiohead also does me in. Okay, my list is growing.... Small Wonders, by Rob Thomas, and Don't Blink, by Kenny Chesney.

    SO many good older country songs:

    Tim & Faith: Angry all the time
    Martina McBride: Independence Day
    Rebe McEntire: Greatest man I never knew
    Vince Gill: Go rest high on that mountain
    Trisha Yearwood: The song remembers when

    Also,

    Boyz II Men: End of the road
    Boyz II Men: It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
    Babyface: Nobody knows it but me

    "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw

    "Letters From Home" by John Michael Montgomery (But, no one laughs, cuz there ain't nothing funny when a soldier cries...)
    "Arlington" by Trace Adkins
    "Soldiers and Jesus" by James Otto

    Clearly any song about lost soldiers.

    And, Sara Evans "A Little Bit Stronger"

    Amen! When she sang this live I was like, "Way to ruin my concert experience, Martina."

    In the ghetto - Elvis Presley
    This travelling Around - Lyle Lovett
    Have a little faith in me - John Haitt (personal reasons)
    Do you realize - The flaming lips (makes me smile and cry at same time.)


    THE FLAMING LIPS LYRICS
    "Do You Realize?"


    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

    And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
    You realize that life goes fast
    It's hard to make the good things last
    You realize the sun doesn't go down
    It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know
    Someday will die -

    And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
    You realize that life goes fast
    It's hard to make the good things last
    You realize the sun doesn't go down
    It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize

    How has no one said "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton??? It's about his son who fell off an apartment balcony as a BABY and wondering if his son will remember him when he gets to heaven. Oh the feels :sad:

    I thought Tears in Heaven was sad until I lost my daughter. Then it became too close to home and I can't listen to it. Arms Wide Open was another one that killed me, it came out when I got pregnant with her, and I thought it was a great song, but after she was stillborn, it reminded me of everything we would miss out on.

    yup, OP...that is a sad one for sure. "Breathe Me" by Sia gets me every time but that's partly because in my head I see the finale of Six Feet Under...whoa boy
