Any songs other than GL that sometimes make you want to cry?

(Brad Paisley)s "When I Get Where I'm Goin'" will pretty much choke me up every time. (It was played both times at my cousin's funerals )

Can't Break It To My Heart (Tracey Lawrence)
Someday (Nickelback)
Hurt (Johnny Cash)
Bridge Over Troubled Waters (Johnny Cash)
IYCRMM (Johnny Cash)
Measure Of A Man (Elton John)

These are other songs that can make me sad if I'm in a certain mood.

'To make you feel my love' by Dylan but NOT sung by him (come to think of it, whenever I hear Dylan sing, I feel like crying!)

I've said it before but "Seasons In The Sun" just instantly dpresses me and makes me cry like a kid!

In fact when I was a kid in 1974,I didn't "get" the lyrics but somehow my mind grasped the mood of the song and it made me cry.
My Mom & Dad could not understand what it was I was crying about,heck,I didn't know myself!

Others are,
"You Needed Me" by Anne Murray
"The Three Bells" by The Browns (1957/58)
"If" by Bread did for a long time but not anymore.

"Calypso" by John Denver brings tears but not of sadness but because I get so into it when I listen. :D

"Concerto In D-Major" by Vivaldi used to make me cry,until when I fell in love some years back.
I came to realize it was actually quite a beautiful romantic song.
(I played it on "our 1st night" ).

If you're talking about making your eyes water, I've had some other songs to do that.

Dancin' When The Stars Go Blue by (Tim McGraw) does that.

Any John Denver song I see him singing on TV makes me cry. His music is so beautiful and it makes me so sad that he's gone.

I LOVE Jim Croce ... Time in a Bottle ... that does it for me, and so many others.
