Make You Cry?
Aude Lang Syne - The New Year's Song, every time.
"Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
and there's a hand my trusty friend,
and gi'es a hand to mine,
we'll take a cup o' kindness yet
for auld lang syne"
Father and Son - Cat Stevens pre-Yousif Islam
The thought of struggles between a father and son, when the son won't take advice his father gives him - it makes me cry every time.. Why can't they just reach an agreement, damnit?
Wow, just typing out the lyrics made me teary eyed, moving right along...
Salam 3alaika - Kathim el Sahir
Singing the proposed Iraqi National Anthem, always gives me goosebumps. Preferrably the live version from Royal Albert Hall in 2006- even the memory of it makes me a little emotional.
What the Snowman Learnt About Love - Stars
The music here more than the lyrics, but "I am Sara and this is my heart "
*tears tears tears*
Tell Him - Lauryn Hill
Many disputes later, Ed & I stand by our words that this song is about God, which makes me cry even more when I hear it.
"Let me be patient, let me be kind
Make me unselfish, without being blind
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got
and tell him...
Tell him I need him...
Tell him I love him...
And it'll be alright..."
Transatlantacism - Death Cab For Cutie
This one hits a sore spot:
"The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how...
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
Oh no.
Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before.
Oh no.
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
So come on, come on "

What Lyrics... # 5
***********************************
This one was easy as I am a crybaby anyway. I could probably think of another dozen or so songs that make me bawl so I'll leave it up to you guys.
Your turn to shed some tears...

I long for my mother's bread
And my mother's coffee
And my mother's touch...
My childhood grows within me
Day after day
I love my life because
If I died,
I would be embarassed by my mother's tears
- My Mother by Marcel Khalife
The moon is milk and the sky where it's spilt, it's magic
And we all need to believe that we can wake in the dream
It's not as hard as it seems - you know, it's harder to leave
Time enough for being braver, time enough for all our fears
Time is tougher than we both know yet – time enough for tears
By The Corrs, although nothing beats Kathim singing live.

Eek, you guys are going to make me cry right now! Good choices, Marcel Khalife, musical genius, The Corrs, for old times sake :)
K, speaking of The Corrs, I was listening to their "Best Of" hits while cleaning my room the other day... Since a certain Mr-recently-turned-into-my-fiancee-and-thinks-he-has-the-right-to-keep-my-CDs has my CD case in his car, I found this amongst my oldies and it was good fun to listen to... Such cheesy high school days eh? :)
Here's Another one:
"And so it is, just like you said it would be,
life goes easy on me,
most, of the time..."
The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice
"All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you"
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares to You
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
:'(
