Songs That Make You Cry

[HayleyB]

On the way to Te**o yesterday, radio 2 doing requests for CIN played the 2008 version of 'Two Little Boys'

I bawled my eyes out the whole journey while singing along, don't know why but that song has always made me cry since I was a kid - without fail

[lynda66]

YouTube - A Broken Hallelujah (House: House/Stacy) this one

[Snadger]

Sachmo singing a wonderful world or the 'Ghost' theme do it for me!

[Stacey Steve]

Don't know about crying but "Nothing Compares" by Ms O'Connor certainly brings a lump to my throat

[Zem]

Everybody Hurts - REM gets me every time!

[kiwirach]

The Rose - Bette Midler.....played at my godsons funeral many yrs ago and still bring a tear....even just typing it.

[valmarg]

Quite a few of the above, but mine are Sand and Water by Beth Nielsen Chapman. Over the Rainbow, and Songbird by Eva Cassidy.

"Fix You" by Coldplay, reminds me of all those poor children 'rescued' by loving foster carers and adopters. Except of course not all of them are rescued and there are too many still out there in the hands of people who would do them harm :-(

Sachmo singing a wonderful world

Or 'we have all the time in the world' has me blubbing.

[kernowyon]

Your'e beautiful by James Blunt, but for the wrong reasons, have to turn it off as it makes my ears bleed and anything by Celene Dion for the same reason.

seriously mine is Coldplay - The Scientist and Time To Say Goodbye by anyone that sings it, particularly well up quite quicky when it is Andrea Bocelli

[nelliegemini]

Puff the Magic Dragon - so very sad.

[Comfreyfan]

My oldest daughter has Coldplay's 'Fix You' as the ringtone when I call her. That made me cry!!

I'm a real weepy type, so lots set me going, but there's a fabulous song called 'I hope you Dance' - which I sent to all our children and cried when they rang to thank me!!

[Glutton4...]

I'm with Snadger and Tootles - Satchmo aka Louis Armstrong's Wonderful World is the best song ever in the world - no contest.

Worst Bond - Best Bond theme!
