    Slipsliding Away by Paul Simon. There's nothing sadder than regret.

    "I know a father who had a son. He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done. He came a long way, just to explain. He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping then he turned around and headed home again."

    There. I'm crying now.

    Oh I cry also during:
    Wildfire; coat of Many Colours; and my son (who is an opera singer) singing anything, obviously it doesn't take much ;-)

    BUT
    no-one has mentioned John Mayer and "goodbye my lover", it was on the radio when my husband was dying, and I used to have to stop the car when I was driving to cry. We played it at his funeral.

    GG

    Actually I did mention that song, it's not by John Mayer though it's by James Blunt, and when my brother passed away his wife played it at his funeral. I can't listen to the song. So sorry for you loss.

    jerrod niemann what do you want from me?

    lyrics!


    Why’d you call me today with nothing new to say?
    You pretend it’s just hello, but you know what it does to me to see your number on the phone.

    Now tell me, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want from me?
    Are you tryin’ to bring back the tears or just the memories?
    You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
    When we hang up it’s almost like I’m losing you again.
    Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?

    I get so tired of living like this.
    I don’t have the time, neither do my friends,
    To stay up at night, to pull me through,
    And to find the things to keep my mind off of you.

    So, now tell me, what do you want? What do you want? What do you want from me?
    Did you call to say you’ve find someone and I’m a used- to- be.
    You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
    If you’ve moved on why does it feel like I’m losing you again?
    Can’t you see? So what do you want? What do you want from me?

    What do you want me to say?
    That I’m content? That I’m on the fence? That I wish you would’ve stayed?

    Oh baby what do you want, what do you want, what do you want from me?
    To come here and make love tonight cause you’re feelin’ lonely.
    You keep takin’ me back, takin’ me back where I’ve already been.
    When we wake up and say goodbye it’s like I’m losing you again.
    Can’t you see? So what do you want, what do you want from me?
    What do you want, what do you want from me?

    *SEXUAL ASSAULT TRIGGER WARNING*

    Bright Eyes - Amy in the White Coat

    Some of the lyrics:
    "Your older sisters, I've had them too
    But you're my favorite, you know it's true
    You look like your mother, in that thin disguise
    Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes
    And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair
    It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share"

    Reba's song titled "What do you say"

    About a mother dying of cancer. First time I heard it my mom had just died of lung cancer and I cried for hours.

    *Also a very sad one that is up for interpretation weather the word "heavy" means literal weight or otherwise.*

    Stars - Personal

    Full Lyrics:
    Wanted: single F
    Under 33
    Must enjoy the sun
    Must enjoy the sea
    Sought by single M
    Mrs. Destiny
    Send photo to address
    Is it you and me?

    Reply to single M:
    My name is Caroline
    Cell phone number here
    Call if you have the time
    28 and bored
    Grieving over loss
    Sorry to be heavy
    But heavy is the cost
    Heavy is the cost

    Reply to Caroline:
    Thanks so much for response
    These things can be scary
    Not always what you want
    How about a drink?
    This ancient club at noon
    I'll phone you first I guess
    I hope I see you soon

    I never got your name
    I assume you're 33
    Your voice, it sounded kind
    I hope that you like me
    When you see my face
    I hope that you don't laugh
    I'm not a film star beauty
    I'll send a photograph
    I hope that you don't laugh

    Note to single M:
    Why did you not show up?
    I waited for an hour
    I finally gave up
    I thought once that I saw you
    I thought that you saw me
    I guess we'll never meet now
    It wasn't meant to be
    It wasn't mean to be
    I was sure you saw me
    But it wasn't meant to be

    Wanted: single F
    Under 33
    Must enjoy the sun
    Must enjoy the sea
    Sought by single M
    Nothing too heavy
    Send photo to address
    Is it you or me?
    Is it you or me?
    Is it you or me?
    Is it you or me?

    may not be the saddest songs ever.. but for me, they simply touch me

    just one? nope, I'll give you three

    "Drugs don't work" - Ben Harper (originally by the Verve but I like Ben Harper's version better)
    ---"all this talk of getting old, it's getting me down my love.. well, the drugs don't work, they just make you hurt but I know I'll see your face again.. cuz baby, oo~ooo, if Heaven calls.. I'm coming too"

    Amazing Grace - can't ever listen to this song anymore :( Living thru 9/11 being in ground zero.. I simply can't listen to it without tearing up

    God Bless America .. I'm a sap, lol

    That song always breaks my heart...even though I don't even want the woman back anymore.

    I did, for way too long to forget how it feels.

    Mercy Me "I Can Only Imagine"
    "I'll be Home for Christmas"
    all of these make me cry, though I'm sure there are many many others, these are the ones that came to the front of my mind the quickest :-)

    - I'll never find another you.

    And there are a bunch of Moby songs that make me weepy but I don't think I'll listen to them now to work out which ones!

    Haven't read the entire thread so I don't know If I'm repeating or not but here are some:

    Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
    Skin (Sarabeth) - Rascal Flatts (my friend is currently battling cancer so this is kind of our song)

    And then there is a couple of sad songs in swedish, but I guess not many of you are interested in them. If so, feel free to message me :)
