    Acoustic #3 by the Goo Goo Dolls. It gets me EVERY time. I also think that Permanent by David Cook is really sad. It's a song he wrote dedicated to his now late older brother who died from battling brain cancer for 11 years.

    Goodbye My Friend -- Linda Ronsadt
    Not really a fan, but was introduced to the song by the Wonder Years, episode where Kevin's math teacher passes away. Can't watch it without bawling! Silly, I know!

    I have about 6 songs that I cry one cue, but obviously they're relevant to me but Hear you me- Jimmy Eat World is one song that just made me pour tears, if you've ever lost someone, and you listen to this song, prepare for the tear fest people bc it will happen!!

    "Already There" ( not sure who sings it!)

    "Danny Boy" -- my dad used to sing this to me as a child, it was played at his funeral

    and "Thank You" by Dido which i cant listen to anymore after it was played at my friends funeral

    There is also a song called "Wish you were here" by Mark Wills which is beautiful

    That song about the father talking about his daughter growing up - Turn around and you're 3, turn around and you're 4, turn around and you're a young bride going out of the door.

    I'm crying now just thinking about it.

    I cry every time I hear it.

    To a Sleeping Beauty by Jimmy Dean

    Dear daughter I tiptoed to your room tonight
    And I looked down at you smiling in your sleep
    You were so lovely my heart nearly broke
    And I thought how very much like sleeping beauty a little girl is
    When I tuck you in at night I never know how old you'll be when you wake
    One evening you crawl on your dad's lap and throw your arms around his neck
    The next morning you might be much too grownup for that sort of thing
    You're so quickly approachin' my awkward age
    Too young to drive a car and yet too old to be carried
    Into the house half asleep on daddy's shoulder
    I have a secret that I've never told you Sleeping Beauty
    You're going on a very exciting trip
    You'll travel from yesterday all the way to tomorrow
    It's a rapid journey and you'll travel light
    Leavin' behind your measles mumps freckles bumps bubblegum and me
    I promise not to feel too hurt when you discover
    That the world is more important than your daddy's lap
    Yesterday you were blue-jeaned and pig-tailed the neighborhood's best tree-climber
    Tomorrow you'll be blue-organdie and ponny-tailed
    And you'll view the world from a loftier perch a pair of high-heel shoes
    Yesterday you could mend a doll's broken leg with a hug
    Tomorrow you'll be able to break a young man's heart with a kiss
    Ha ha yesterday you could get lost one aisle away from me in a supermarket
    Now I have to worry about losin' you down another aisle to some strange young man
    You see just at the point where your growing pains stop mine begin
    Yesterday you were kind of a pain in the neck when you were around
    Tomorrow you'll be an ache in my heart when you're not
    Tomorrow you'll lay aside your jumprope and tie up the telephone lines
    And that little boy that used to push you in the mud
    Well he'll fight to set out a dance with you
    The clock upstairs is countin' the minutes for you
    And the sky upstairs is savin' its brightest stars
    And the sun is waitin' with its shinest day
    Oh I can't expect you to live in a dollhouse forever
    Sooner or later the butterfly sheds its cocoon and the smallest bird must try its wings
    But when you grow up and out of my arms when you finally get too big for my shirts
    I'll still recall how you used to scatter dust and dolls
    And partially through every room in the house but you spread sunshine too
    The dust is settled your mom picked up the dolls
    But the sunshine will always fill the corners of our hearts
    So here I am talkin' in your sleep
    Because well if you saw this look on my face you'd laugh
    And if I spoke with this lump in my throat I'd cry
    Yeah honey when I looked at you tonight you were a Sleeping Beauty
    So I tiptoed over and I kissed you you didn't wake up I knew you wouldn't
    According to the legend only the handsome young prince can open your eyes
    And I'm just the father of a future bride
    So you sleep on pretty thing tomorrow you'll awake and you'll be a young lady
    And you won't even realize that you've changed courses in the middle of a dream
    But you might notice this little change in me
    I look a little different somehow a little sadder a little wiser but a whole lot richer
    Tonight I kissed a princess and I feel like a king
