What specific song lyrics make you cry and why?

[mamaprincess]

How about Train 'when i look to the sky, somethin' tells me your here......'

The whole Drops of jupiter kills me!

 

[MamaLema]

A Song for Mama by BoyzIIMen.

I hope my sons feel the same way about me when they are all grown up


"...you will always be the girl in my life..."

"...Mama, you're the queen of my heart..."

 

[jimmiej]

The song from Toy Story 2, "When Somebody Loved Me." Man! That's a tear-jerker! It always make me think how lost I'd be w/o my wife...

 

[Snoopymom]

While waiting to adopt our son....

Someone's Waiting to Love You from the movie, The Rescuers

Be brave little one.
Make a wish for each sad little tear.
Hold your head up though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you.
Don't cry little one.
There'll be a smile where a frown use to be
You'll be part of the love that you see.
Someone's waiting for you.
Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
and you're sure to see the light.
Soon there'll be joy and happiness
and your little world will be bright
Have faith little one
'Til your hopes and your wishes come true.
You must try to be brave little one.
Someone's waiting to love you

and the Rodney Foster song that the Dixie Chicks covered, Godspeed

Dragon tales and the water is wide
Pirate’s sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer’s all tuckered out
Superman’s in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we’ll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God heard amen, wherever you are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride.

I waited so long to have DD and then had a really hard pg thinking I would lose her all the time. Now she is here, 5 yo beautiful and sassy and I am so thankful everyday...

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Yesterday by the beatles

I can't take it!

Imagine by John lennon

Hey Jude

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

Several songs from 3 Doors Down "Away from the Sun". DH bought me the CD before he left for Iraq and used some lyrics in his letter to me before he left. "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You" in particular. I know there was a video to "When I'm Gone" that was military related. He burned me a music CD set to this with pics of him "over there".

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
hold me when I'm scared
and Love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
wants to be the one
you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
you can Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone


and...
A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

another vote for proud to be an american.

 

[lovetheparks]

both from my Dad's funeral

Amazing Grace by bagpipe since it was a full Fireman Honors affair

and He's Not Heavy He's My Brother - requested by his best friend since 2nd grade.

 

[mountaineer]

"Then They Do" by Trace Adkins, it's about kids growing up right before your eyes, all the mundane stuff you do everyday then suddenly they're gone and grown.

"When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley, it's about what it'll be like to go to Heaven. The lyrics that get to me are:

I'm gonna walk with my Granddaddy
he'll match me step for step
I'll tell him how I've missed him every minute since he left
then I'll hug his neck

I was really close to my grandmother and she used a cane for the last few years of her life which makes me tear up at the "match me step for step" part

 

[experiment626mom]

"Missing You" I think by Corey Hart. (Or is it called Since You've Been Gone"?)

That song became very popular after my husband died and everyone was telling me to get on with my life.

I used to drive in my car with this song full blast and tears running down my face. To this day that song brings me right back to that time.

 

[MinnieM3]

I forgot to add On Eagle's Wings....church song. Right after my best friend died of breast cancer.

Proud to Be an American is really called God Bless The USA....Great tune.

Let There Be Peace on Earth - gets me EVERY time

I Am YOur Child by Barry Manilow

I am your child
Wherever you go, you take me, too
Whatever I know, I learn from you
Whatever I do, you taught me to do
I am your child
And I am your chance

Whatever will come, will come from me
Tomorrow is won, by winning me
Whatever I am, you taught me to be
I am your hope,
I am your chance,
I am your child

Whatever I am, you taught me to be
I am your hope,
I am your chance,
I am your child

 

[greenyskp]

There are several for me, they all represent the rise and demise of my last relationship. Each time we got back together, hed pick out a song to sing to me, and I cant listen to those songs now. and each time we broke up, id pick songs to help me get through it...


BBmak - Back here

"So i told you lies, even made you cry, baby i was so wrong. girl I promise you, now our love is true, this is where my heart belongs"

NICKELBACK - Someday

How the h*** did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

NICKELBACK - How you remind me

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

Weezer - Falling for You

But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
And I'd do about anything to get the h*** out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you

Weezer - This is such a Pity

How is your heart little darling?
I didn't mean to get so mad.
Let me just hold you closely.
How did things get so bad?

I know how to pick on you.
You pushed me over the edge.
We caused so much agony.
We can't seem to move ahead.

This is such a pity.
We should give all our love to each other.
Not this hate that destroys us.
This is such a pity.

And then more recently -

Kelly Clarkson - Because of You

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Kelly Clarkson - Beautiful Disaster

Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm searching for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long

He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
He's such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster


God.. bad relationships suck

I totally agree! I'm a huge Martina McBride fan and to hear this sung at her concert is just unbelievable.

"Last Song" by Elton John - "The Dance" Garth Brooks and "Lightning Crashes" by Live

 

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

That reminds me. DD did her ballet recital dance to "In My Daughter's Eyes".

 

[Tantor]

There is a song by Mike and The Mechanics called "Through The Living Years".

One of the lines goes something like "I think I heard your laughter in my daughters newborn tears, I just wish I could have told you in the living years"

My FIL died just before I got pregnant with DD#1, this line hits me every single time, because he would have so loved being a Grandpa.

This one does it for me too. My Dad died before my daughter was born. I wish he could have met her.

"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush

Pray to God you can cope
I stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Oooh, it's hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
All the things I should've said that I never said
All the things we should of done that we never did
All the things I should've given but I didn't

Oh darling make it go
Make it go away
Give me them back to me
Give that little kiss
Give me your hand

I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a little strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things we should've said that were never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you needed from me
All the things that that you wanted from me
All the things I should of given but I didn't
Oh darling make it go away
Just make it go away now.

Bush does a great job capturing the emotional wringer childbirth can put a father through... at times a helpless bystander.

Ones that come close are:
"Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber - I've always liked this piece. When I was in the rotunda of our state capitol last year a choral voice group did this number and it was incredible.

"Hold On" by Sarah McLachlan - A tribute to a friend of hers who married a husband who was dying of AIDS.

"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush - Just becuase.

"Peace" by George Winston - Just too beautiful.
