What's the saddest song you know?

One that I listened to today is Landslide, I like the Smashing Pumpkins version and the Stevie Nicks version.
One that makes me cry is Perfect by Pink as I have a son with learning difficulties and I sing it to him, because he's perfect to me ;-)

I listen to Perfect every single morning on the treadmill (uneditd for me, lol) then sing the edited version to my girls at bedtime because I NEVER want them to feel like I always have...

BUT, the saddest song is Permanent by David Cook.

Ebony Eyes by the Everly Brothers
Danny Boy
Also, I spent many a tragic teenage hour with Miserable by Lit on repeat

oh, and homesick by Mercy Me

I'm not much of a country music fan because I'm a big cry baby. I cry at a lot of songs already posted and I didn't read all the posts so these two might be on there too. I have no idea why but I can cry just talking about these two songs, I don't even have to hear them.

Where've You Been - Kathy Mattea
Don't take the girl- Tim McGraw

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

This makes me think of my husband's step mother during the first stages of dementia. When she was lucid enough to know what was wrong and that it would only get worse as it goes on. She and my Father in law were so in love and this line made me want to ball every time I heard it, because I could just hear her saying this.. "If I lay here.. if I just lay here would you lay with me and just forget the world.. forget what we're told.. before we are too old". Okay, I'm tearing up just typing this.

Probably not one of the saddest songs but it makes me cry.....

"Grandpa" by the Judds......my Papa was like a dad to me and died when I was 14......best man ever next to my hubby of course!

two actually

1) don't take the girl (Tim McGraw)
2)the last kiss (J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers/Pearl Jam)

don't listen to much newer music but for being one who is not known for showing emotion those two always bring a tear

Don't take the girl always makes me tear up!!!

Another one I forgot to mention is "The Little Girl" omg it's sad.

So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold

It's a tie.
Family of three - Katthy Mattea
Objects in the Rear View Mirror - Meat Loaf

Wind Beneath My Wings B. Midler

you are my sunshine, the entire song.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

[Chorus]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

[Chorus]

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But now you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

[Chorus]

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The question is simple... what's the ONE song that always tugs at your heart?

For me - Alison Krauss - Jacob's Dream (true story about 2 boys who wandered off into the woods, only to die).

"Let It Be" By The Beatles.......NOT Sad; Very Thought Provoking and Humbling.
"Sadie" By The Spinners...This one pulls My Heart because it is about "A Great Mother" which I too had and miss. When it comes on the radio, I always turn, can't take it.

Christmas Shoes-

Definitely this! There is also "He smiled as he ran out to play" A song by Ricky Van Shelton that I start to cry as soon as I hear it.

Christmas Shoes-

Yes yes yes
