What specific song lyrics make you cry and why?

The whole WDW Millenium CD!!

Not so much because of the words, but the music is just so moving! I still love this CD so much!

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


My breakup coping song was "Are You Happy Now?" by Michelle Branch. Not so much sad, but angry.



Now, don’t just walk away
Pretending everything’s ok
And you don’t care about me
And I know there’s just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don’t care... yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you’re happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take,
And left me with an empty plate
And you don’t care about it, yeah.
And I am givin' up this game
I’m leaving you with all the blame cause I don’t care, yeah, yeah yeah,

Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you’re happy now, oohh oohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now? yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you really have everything you want?
You can't ever give somethin' you ain't got
You can’t run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye?
and tell me that you're happy now, yeah, yeah
come on, tell it to my face or have i been replaced,
are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
are you happy now?

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I’ve had all that I can take
I'm not about to break
Cause I’m happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Are you happy now?
 
I'm such a sap, most songs can make me cry...but

It was your song- garth brooks
when my dad was going through chemo, he sat me down and played the song, and basically said I was what was getting him through chemo.

Forgive- Rebecca Lynn Hayward
Long story....true love of my life.....
"In the time it woulda took to say honey I'm home how was your day...
you dropped the bomb right where we lived just expect me to forgive......
thats a mighty big word for such a small man
and im not sure i can
i dont even know now who i am
its too soon for me to say, forgive
I should ask but I wont
was it love or just her touch
cause I dont think i want to know
so get you some things
and get out
dont call me for a day or two
so i can sort this out........" :guilty:


I'm Trying- Diamond Rio and Chely Wright
Longer Story........same guy

"She said I'm not pointing fingers
he said yes you are, you wouldnt bring it up if you weren't
if i told you i been walking
out in the dark night thinking
would you take this truthless alcholics word
oh i cant change whats done is done
but i can tell you this
not a day goes by that i dont curse myself and all my sins
and i need you to hold onto while this part of me is dying
oh i havent kicked the demons that haunt me
im trying
....
she sat down on the floor
said i wish that i was stronger
right now i feel as fragile as a glass
and i want to believe you
believe whats held you has freed you
and i hate these doubts that keep on comin back
my parents think im crazy
for stayin here this long
but theirs nothing more i want for us then to prove to them their wrong
i dont want to be afraid
i dont want to think your lyin
thought i havent found the faith that i need
i'm trying
....
he asked
do you want me to leave?
cause if you do you know i will
and she said
much to his disbelief
no i love you still
oh i love you still

he said i dont know why i been the fool
but i can tell you this
not a day goes by that i dont curse myself and all my sins
and he dropped down to his knees
by now they both were crying
he said i havent been the man i want to be
but i'm trying


And now that i've listened to them to type the lyrics....i'm bawling........wonderfreakinful

Also there is one by Garth Brooks and I can't think of the name but part of the chorus is "she just went crazy, screaming out his name". Cheyenne might be in the title.

The name of the Garth Brooks song is Beaches of Cheyenne. That one makes me misty eyed also - alot of songs do that to me though. Alot of Kenny Chesney songs will do that to me!! LOL

"Turn Around" and "Sunrise, Sunset" always make me misty.

"Where are you going, my little one, little one?
Where are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around, and you're tiny.
Turn around, and you're grown.
Turn around, and you're a young wife,
With babes of your own."

We sang this is jr. high choir when I was in 9th grade. We all hated the song. We had to sing it at a band booster meeting. My mom was there. She bawled through the whole song! LOL!! It was a year or two before I really got the meaning of the song :)
 
"Live like you were Dying" by Tim McGraw.

It just reminds you that life is so short and to live each day as it is your last. My husband is a police officer, and the song reminds me of some officers we know that were killed in the line of duty.


"He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how?s it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what?d you do

and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn?t
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn?t such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I?d do if I could do it all again

and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I?d been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what?d you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?

Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying"

And another song:
"For Good" from the Broadway musical Wicked.
Lyrics-
it well may be that we will never meet again,
in this lifetime so let me say before we part
so much of me is made from what I learned from you.
you'll be with me like a handprint on my heart.
and whatever way our stories end,
I know you have re-written mine by being my friend.


YES! that one too....I love that play and the music! I think that song is very good for like a high school graduation or somethign!

also, the reprieve of "I"ll Cover You" in the musical RENT makes me cry everytime!!!!!

"I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - all my life

I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is


So with a thousand
sweet kisses If you're cold
I'll cover you And you're lonely
With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
out and tired With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When your heart has
expired
Oh lover I'll cover you
Oh lover I'll cover you"

No one does angry breakup songs like Alanis Morisette, IMO
 
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life."
- Good Riddance, Greenday




"And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon and there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

1:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Repeat 1

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Repeat 1 x3"
- Friends Forever, Vitamin C

These songs were played over and over during my senior year of high school, it always brings back good memories, but I always manage to shed a tear when listening to it. Best times of my life.

My friend's son was born still born and this song always makes me cry.

My Name (George Canyon)

It's cold in here
Feels like everything's upside down
I can feel you talkin'
But I can barely make out the sound
And I've been kickin' around these parts
Feels like a year
And I'm going to change this world
If I ever get out of here
She wants to dress me in pink
Paints my bedroom blue
And I just laugh to myself
'Cause only I know the truth

This love is my only emotion
Haven't learned any fear, any pain
It's kind of funny with all this commotion
Guess they've got me to blame
They don't even know my name
They don't even know my name

Well, I've never felt so ready
Think it's finally time
'Cause that big ol' world is waiting
And it's mine, all mine
Just then everything got real quiet
And it got real bright
And a man took my hand, said don't worry
Your Mama's going to be alright
Then he opened the gate
And I followed him in
Said you can wait right here
'Til it's your turn again

His love is the one true emotion
Heaven knows no fear, no pain
I never got to set my wheels in motion
But they loved me just the same
And they didn't even know my name
They didn't even know my name

You loved me just the same
And you didn't even know my name


I've never heard that song but :sad1: . As a mother of 3 I can't imagine the pain. My heart goes out to your friend.


The songs for me are:
Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father
Alan Jackson - Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning
? - Christmas Shoes

There are so many but my mind is blank right now.
 
This song gets me every time I hear it. This song was written by Natalie Grants friend. In a 24 hour time period one of her friends lost her 8 month old baby, and another friend lost her husband to cancer.

Natalie Grant - Held
From the album Awaken

Two months is too little
They let him go
They had no sudden healing
To Think That Providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling

Who told us we’d be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We are asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it’s unfair

Chorus:
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We’d be held

This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow

Chorus:

If hope if born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait, for one hour
Watching for our Savior

Chorus: (2X’s)

Don't take the Girl always makes me cry too.

? - Christmas Shoes


Christmas Shoes is by a group called "Newsong"

Here are the lyrics...

Newsong
The Christmas Shoes

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

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

Chorus:
Sir, I want to 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 would 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
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to 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 would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
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
 
OOHHH I forgot this one too...

I Love You This Much
By: Jimmy Wayne


He can't remember
The times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
That didn't stop him
From wishing that he did
Didn't keep him from wanting
Or worshipping him

He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they'd go
Whispering daddy
I want you to know

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done
'cause what kind of father
Could do that to his son?
He said 'damn you daddy'
The day that he died
The man didn't blink
But the little boy cried

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up above the preacher
And he sat and stared at him

He said
'forgive me father'
When he realized
That he hadn't been unloved
Or alone all his life
His arms were stretched out
As far as they'd go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know

[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

My Name (George Canyon)

OMG, I saw that video one day and I was sobbing hysterically....I have never heard a song like that before.

I am so sorry for your friend...that must have been heartbreaking :(
 
Makes me cry - not because it makes me sad really, but because my tiny baby is growing into a big girl so fast....

"Let Them Be Little"

[Originally written and sung by Billy Dean]

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little
 
Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole' . We played it at my son's funeral. Angels in Waiting is another song that gets my tears flowing.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why oh why can't I

Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and
I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
and also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do
They're really saying I, I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
world...

Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh why can't I...
 
I have two more for the "breakup" category.......I can hear them ok now but back then they were big time tearjerkers

TRACE ADKINS
Help Me Understand

Once in a lifetime
You'll open up your heart
Maybe once in your lifetime
You'll swear to never be apart
You think your love's on solid ground
Then out of the blue, it all comes tumblin' down

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

And my picture in your locket
What will you do with it now
All our friends and all our memories
Tell me how we sort them out
What's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
Is that all that's left
After all this time

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand

Help me understand
Why I'm not part of our plan
And you don't need me anymore
Help me understand
Why I still wanna be where you are
Even though I know in my heart
You don't love me anymore

Who's gonna hold me tonight
When I'm feeling lonely
Who's gonna show me the light
'Cause I need to know
With all the things we've go
How can love just stop
Tell Me
Somebody help me understand


I Miss my Friend by Darryl Worley

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss the silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

What gets you welling up and why??? There are lots of songs that make people cry, but are there any lyrics that you can't listen to in public for fear of bursting into tears????

Song?
Lyric?
Reason?

QUOTE]

Song - "Tears In Heaven" Eric Clapton
Lyric - "Cuz I know I don't belong here in heaven"
Reason - My daughter died in 1991 at 11 mos. old and to this day I can not listen to that song and not think of her and all the promises I made to God if if let me see her one more time - that is why that one lyric hits the hardest
 
Hi,

I can't quote specifics, but there are two songs I can think of that make me cry.

One is "Hushabye". I've never heard the Mystics' 1959 original version, but the Beach Boys covered it on their 1965 album *All Summer Long*. I bought the Capitol Records "two-fer" cd, on which the album *All Summer Long* is paired with *Little Deuce Coupe*, a few days after my mom died. When I heard, "Hushabye, hushabye/Little darlin' don't you cry,/Guardian angels up above,/Help protect the one I love", I completely lost it.

Also, "Last Kiss". I don't know who originally recorded this song about a boy whose girlfriend dies in a car accident, but it really gets me. I know Pearl Jam covered it.

Jim
