Songs that make you teary

Puff the Magic Dragon

I used to get told off for getting upset at that, as a child.

It is sad, though.

And the one about the unicorns, who messed around and didn't make it onto the ark.

“Anyone who had a heart” by Dusty Springfield
And “Take These Chains From My Heart” by Ray Charles

Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis
Calon Lan, Dafydd y Garreg Wen, Suo Gan and countless other Welsh songs. I was born and bred in North Wales but have lived in England for all of my adult life.
I also love lots of operatic love songs.

Close to you by the Carpenters.
It reminds me of my mum.

Gwahoddiad sung by either the Treorchy or Morriston Orpheus and, of course, Myfanwy.

Chasing cars is a tear jerked for me, and I never saw Greys Anatomy.

Whatever it is, that song taps into people's emotions.

My Dad was a church minister so it would be certain hymns that set me off. In particular 'Thine be the glory'- Dad died just before Easter and it was his favourite hymn. We sang it at his funeral and Mum also chose it for hers. Decades on I still can't sing it without tearing up and struggle to sing to the end.

'Meet on the Ledge' sung by Fairport Convention and
'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' sung by Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention).

Both played at a dear friends funeral recently, so, yes...tears.

Streets of London by Ralph Mcktel.

Sorry, can't work out the spelling today.

Separate lives by phil collins, and dance with my father again Luther vandross

You’ll never walk alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers. My husband was a Liverpool supporter and I had it played at his funeral. I sob every time I hear it played. Also Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba. So poignant when your
child has grown and out in the big world. I also love Softly as I Leave you by Matt Munroe. I’m blubbing now.

I’ve just thought of another one - Michelle Shocked - Anchorage. ‘Leroy says Keep on rocking, girl’ really gets me.

I'm blubbing along with you!

Eddie Fisher singing Oh my Papa. Could cry just thinking about it.

Nimrod
Mama - Il Divo - this was played at my mum's funeral and it makes me cry every time I hear it.
Zadok the Priest
Nothing compares to u
With or without you

Nimrod brings me to tears - the calm of those final bars. Evidently it has been voted the classic most likely to make people cry.

Oh! No idea what has happened to my post!

Going Home- Sissel. We had that played at the end of our mum and brothers funeral.
Go now- The Moody Blues. 1963 I think? Our dear Scamp the cat had been found run over and killed. I remember walking into our living room and this song was playing on Top of Pops on t.v. I always think of him if ever I hear this.
Nessun Dorma reminds me of my dad, he died of a heart attack on his way home from coming up to visit me. It was the 1990 World Cup in Italy and this song kept playing.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. Also Run (the Leona Lewis version).

Run was played at my daughter's funeral, also the Leona version.

I am a rock by Simon and Garfunkel.

My Cherie amour Stevie wonder
Auld lang si
Puppy love Donny osmond

Abide with me,Who knows where the time goes by Sandy Denny,Nimrod, Jupiter from the Planets,Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet.I am easily moved to tears by soppy films as well!

The Prayer by Andreas Bocelli and Celine Dion

Another one for the Living Years
Don’t Give Up by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel (I think)
Elinor Rigby by the Beatles
Reach Out I’ll be There by the Four Tops because my mum wasn’t a fan of pop music but for some reason she loved that song.
Almost anything from Les Mis
