Ditto. That song gets me misty-eyed. Same with the Star Spangled Banner, when it's sung well.

I'm one of the few guys who actually sings that at the baseball games I go to and I always stand at attention.

The Christmas Shoes...I bawl and sob everytime I hear it... My girlfriend died Dec. 26th after a long battle with cancer, and this song always makes me think of her.
It was almost Christmas time,
There I stood in another line,
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two,
Not really in the Christmas mood.
Standing right in front of me,
Was a little boy waiting anxiously.
Pacing 'round like little boys do,
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes.
And his clothes were worn and old.
He was dirty from head to toe.
And when it came his time to pay,
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes,
"For my mama, please.
"It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
"Could you hurry, sir?
"Daddy says there's not much time.
"You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
"And I know these shoes will make her smile.
"And I want her to look beautiful,
"If Mama meets Jesus tonight."
He counted pennies for what seemed like years,
Then the cashier said: "Son, there's not enough here."
He searched his pockets frantically.
Then he turned and he looked at me.
He said: "Mama made Christmas good at our house,
"Though most years she just did without.
"Tell me, sir, what am I going to do?
"Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes."
So I laid the money down.
I just had to help him out.
An' I'll never forget the look on his face,
When he said: "Mama's gonna look so great."
"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes,
"For my mama, please.
"It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
"Could you hurry, sir?
"Daddy says there's not much time.
"You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
"And I know these shoes will make her smile.
"And I want her to look beautiful,
"If Mama meets Jesus tonight."
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of Heaven's love,
As he thanked me and ran out.
I knew that God had sent that little boy.
To remind me just what Christmas is all about.
(Children's Choir.)
"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes,
"For my mama, please.
"It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
"Could you hurry, sir?
"Daddy says there's not much time.
"You see, she's been sick for quite a while,
"And I know these shoes will make her smile.
"And I want her to look beautiful,
"If Mama meets Jesus tonight."
"I want her to look beautiful,
"If Mama meets Jesus tonight."

That was my wedding song
I'll Be
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful Stop me and steal my breath Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky Never revealing their depth Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above I'll be your cryin' shoulder I'll be love suicide I'll be better when I'm older I'll be the greatest fan of your life Rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed You're my survival, you're my living proof My love is alive and not dead Tell me that we belong together Dress it up in the trappings of love I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above Chorus I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said Chorus

Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

"The Dance" by Garth Brooks.
My son used to sing that to me before he got so strung out on drugs he couldn't remember the words.
Every single time I hear that...I cry. He was good too!!!!

WhenI was little, Mamma always played Patsy Cline.
I used to listen and sing along,
but now that I am married,
the one song that will make me cry
is "She's Got You."
"I've got the picture that you gave to me...
"I've got the ring you gave when you promised...
"i've got the records we shared....
I've got your memories...
She's got you."
That really haunts me.
My mom got divirced when I was only 6 months old.
My sister was married for 9 months and then
her marriage dissolved into fists.....
My second sister was married only 3 weeks...
her husband choked to death on pizza while
watching a baseball game in another room.
I warned my hubby about the "bad luck"
that follows my family... and knock on wood....
He believes his good luck cancels out my bad stuff.
After 7 years, he still thinks he's right.
and I pray every night that he is right.
(Wink)
hugs for the tear jerker songs...
Like Patty Loveless "How can I help you say goodbye"
and Scott Krippayne "Every Single Tear"
No one ever said
Steve Warner "Holes in the Floor of heaven"

I'm with Catlind on this one. "The Christmas Shoes." OHIGOD! I have to pull into the breakdown lane whenever it comes on. It's either that or switch channels and take the chance of having to listen to Bruce S. sing the worst rendition of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" that was ever made.

Hmmm... a few for me:
"This Woman's Work" - Kate Bush (especially the scene from the film "She's Having a Baby" for which the song was written)
"Hold On" - Sarah McLachlan - The most heart-wrenching line:
Oh God, if you're out there won't you hear me... I know that we've never talked before... Oh God, the man I love is leaving... won't you take him when he comes to your door (written for a close friend when he died of AIDS)
"The Last Song" - Elton John
"This House" - Alison Moyet
