What specific song lyrics make you cry and why?

[katedrew94]

Who I Am by Jessica Andrews. It reminds me of my mom and dad. I lost my mom 4 years ago and the chorus goes like this:

I am Rosemary's Granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan


This describes me to a tee.

And Wishes makes me cry to, if I am in the right mood.

"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."

I cry EVERY TIME I hear that particular lyric and my daughter' s only three months old! It's like I can already see her heading out the door with her own family.

Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon,
When you comin' home Dad
I don't know when,
but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then............

and the part,
When you comin' home son,
I don't know when,
but we'll get together then,
you know we'll have a good time then,
and I knew he was just like me,
my boy was just like me.

Okay, great! Now I'm crying! Thanks a lot!

A lot of the songs that get me have already been mentioned.

"when you say nothing at all" by Alison Krauss and Union Station. It reminds me of my dog, I'd dropped him at the vet the night he died and that was playing on the radio when I drove back home.
"anything for you" by gloria estefan always reminds me of my dad.
"we go on" at IllumiNations always leaves me weepy, just because I think the lyrics say so much

Gosh, I'm getting teary writing this. I know something is going to make me think of my mom, but her signature song for some reason was the Mexican Hat Dance.

[Reflection]

I have quite a few:

Soliloquy from Carousel
Ballad of the Sad Young Men
Christmas Shoes
Time in a Bottle
House at Pooh Corner and Not While I'm Around (because I use to sing these to my daughter all the time when she was little--I still sing Not While I'm Around sometimes to her chagrin )

No one's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
No one's gonna harm you, no sir
Not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays
I'll send them howling
I don't care
I've got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others may desert you
Not to worry
Whistle I'll be there
Demons may charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around.

Only Hope (From a Walk to Remember)

Only Hope
There's a Song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over, and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over, and over, and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours I pray
To be only Yours
I know now, You're my only Hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing, and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours I pray
To be only Yours
I know now, You're my only Hope

I give You my destiny
I'm givin' You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs
I'm givin' it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours I pray
To be only Yours I pray
To be only Yours
I know now, You're my only Hope
