Songs that make you teary

I have a few. And I love you so by Perry Como and Forever and ever, my heart will be true. Both were sung by my dad to my mum over many years. It brings my lovely dad back to me. I'm a fan of Jim Croce too.

My Immortal by Evanescense.
My darling child by Sinead O'connor. (All the more poignant now)
Sound of silence by Disturbed.
Piece by Piece by Katie Melua.
Everybody Hurts by REM.
Love song by The Cure.
Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.
The First time ever I saw your face by Roberta Flack.

Oh, and there was an inane pop song called "rock-a-by baby" that my girl used to sing to her boys when it came on.
They would join in and do the "Ah yeah!" and rapping bits.

Dolly Parton I will always love you.

So much lovelier and with much more feeling than the loud, belted-out Whitney Houston version 🙂

How Long Will I Love You by Ellie Goulding. Just beautiful.

Jim Croce has some wonderful songs. The one that begins...Operator, can you help me make this call? It's quite heartbreaking.

All of me loves all of you by John Legend.

‘For Auld Lang Syne’.
My father was terminally ill at the age of only 47y with bowel cancer. After he died I could never join in singing this at NY celebrations. I blubbed every time so for years I didn’t even try.

Slipping Through My Fingers Abba
Yes, that ABBA song is beautiful too.

I still love Fernando, two old men reminiscing about the old days when they fought for freedom.

I like the Dolly Parton version of "I will always love you", too.

Bright Eyes, by Art Garfunkel, it was playing on the car radio when we were taking our dearly loved cat to be cremated

Heartbreaking for you hellogirl. After calling at the vets to pick up our very ill dog and being told that he had just died, the first song we heard was ‘Bring Him Home’. Floods of tears as I’m sure you can imagine.

Many of Schubert’s songs make me tearful.

My mother used to cry whenever she heard Kathleen Ferrier on the radio (or wireless as we called it then).

Almost anything sung by a good boy treble.

For the good times by Perry Como.
Annie's Song - John Denver.

My mum put And I love you so on dad's gravestone. He sang it to her.

I'm a hopeless case.
Crying just reading about others' teary songs!

Sweet Child O' Mine can make me a bit tearful, in a nice way.
Not a soggy mess way

Bizarrely, I find Jolene quite sad.

Roxy Music - Jealous Guy
Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags
Randy Crawford - Rainy Night in Georgia
Yma o Hyd makes me proud, not sad, strangely the Welsh song that always gets me is this, by Max Boyce.

‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’ by Stevie Wonder. It was the last tune my Dad played on the piano to my Mum. He died that night. That was 40 years ago, and even just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

Chalk Outlines by: Ren and Chinchilla

Those were the days of our lives by Queen.

Just the memory of Freddie, looking so very poorly, plus we were all fans of Queen.

Adele "A million miles away" - the line "I miss my mother" always makes me tearful - because I do miss her

Patsy70

‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’ by Stevie Wonder. It was the last tune my Dad played on the piano to my Mum. He died that night. That was 40 years ago, and even just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

Oh Patsy 70 - that almost brought a tear to me eye. Songs and smells are so emotive.

Mine would be Unbreak my Heart by Toni Braxton - it was playing on the radio when I discovered my then husband was having (another) affair. On reflection Tony probably did me a favour .

Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. My Mum loved that scene and I've never been able to watch it since she died.

Anything by Barbra Streisand - my Dad adored her.

Kate1949

Oh yes suep1953 Without You by Neilson is a memorable one for me.

I always thought the song was written by Nilsson but it was written by two members of the group Badfinger. Their story is heartbreaking 💔

Hurt by Johnny Cash.
Reminds me of the ex, as he used to sing it to me.

Abide With Me played by a brass band does it to me every time.
Willie Nelson singing September Song
Neil Sedaka - The Hungry Years
Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle
Clifford T Ward - You've Come Up In The World
Frank Sinatra singing the most beautiful song by Antonio Carlos Jobim - Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars

I didn't know that suep. I will look it up.

My mom loved Scarlet Ribbons.
