Songs that make you teary

Watching the YouTube clip of Andre Rieu and Amira Willighagen singing O Mio Babbino Caro. The audience are in tears as well.

Calon Lan was sung at my daughter's wedding - in Norway. Her choir learnt it for the occasion. It's lovely.
Yep, I'm with those who struggle with "slipping through my fingers" by ABBA.

I was pregnant and in a queue to pay my gas bill. Suddenly When a child is born came on in the shop and I couldn’t stop crying.
If I had known how long the delivery was to be I would have cried even more. (36 hours if anyone is interested).

Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce.

I can’t listen to The Cars, who’s going to take you home tonight, without seeing those dreadful images from Live Aid.

Jim Croce died very young in an aircraft accident and this song makes me so sad that he didn't have the time he should have enjoyed with his young family.It can bring tears to my eyes just hearing him singing it
