  There is this country song that is about a little girl who's mother and father are alcoholics and drug addicts.  They end up dead.  She goes to another family.  Goes to Sunday school and tells the teacher that the man on the cross got off and held her the night her daddy killed her mommy...  Man I cry every time I hear it..

  If anyone knows the name of the song and the artist please tell!!

Oh you're killin me here...
"If I Had Only Known", by Reba McEntire and...."I Cant' Make You Love Me", by Bonnie Rait..

[ademas]

Desperado always strikes a nerve...always has.
The "You better let somebody love you...let somebody love you....let somebody love you...before it's too late."
I'm a sap.

The version from "In America" sung by the little girl in her school talent show just ripped me up.

THE LITTLE GIRL
By: John Michael Montgomery

Her parents never took the young girl to church...
Never spoke of His name...
Never read her his word...
Two non-believers walking lost in this world...
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl...

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs...
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs...
She'd watch the tv and sit there on the couch...
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out...

And the drinking and the fighting...
Just got worse every night...
Behind their couch she'd be hiding...
Oh what a sad little life...

And like it always does, the bad just got worse...
With every slap and every curse...
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night...
Used a gun on her mom and then took his life...

And some people from the city took the girl far away...
To a new mom and a new dad, kisses and hugs everyday...

Her first day of Sunday School...
Her teacher walked in...
And a small little girl starred at a picture of Him...
She said I know that man up there on that cross...
I don’t know His name but I know he got off...
Cause he was there in my old house...
And held me close to his side...
As I hid there behind our couch...
The night that my parents died.

[BooBoo]

There is also a new country song that makes me cry every time I hear it.  It is by newcomer Jason Michael Carroll and is called "Alyssa Lies".    It's a very sad song about child abuse......a real tear-jerker.

Jim

[Miss Philicia]

I don't recall ever crying from a song.  Movies, yes -- in fact I've often cried from even really, REALLY bad movies.

[skeebo1969]

What is the one where the good looking guy with blue eye, runs home because his mother is dying and he says he'll always be her little baby?

I found it.

[Ronald1958]

How about an 80s oldie - "Holding Back the Years" by Simply Red?

[Lwood]

Although it didnt make me cry, I recently heard Robert Allen Zimmerman's  "How Does It Feel" for the first time since my Diagnosis and it took on a whole new meaning.
Johnny Cash's latest rendition of 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' will put a tear in anyones eye
and if you want to boo hoo to something a little more recent,
theres one by a band called Carbon Leaf called "The War Was In Color"  which I think they should make Bush listen to every morning.
On the opposite end of the spectrum {tears of Joy}  one that always gets me is ( believe it or not ) from the soundtrack of the movie True Romance, its the instrumental by Hans Zimmer that plays in the final scene....but thats just me.

[Andy Velez]

She has since recorded it, but I first heard Betty Buckley sing BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER and also AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL at a concert in NYC just days after 9/11. Totally lost it and could again when I think of it now.

Lots of songs move me deeply but don't necessarily make me cry.

Among the many are Dinah Washington's THIS BITTER EARTH, almost anyone singing THE ROSE, Barbara Cook and SHIP IN A BOTTLE, ERROL FLYNN and IF I LOVED YOU among many others, Judy Garland and RAINBOW of course as well as THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY and MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY, BOB DYLAN & JOHNNY CASH on GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, Dooley Wilson and AS TIME GOES BY, CARMEN McRAE and THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME DANCE, Billie Holiday and LOVER MAN, Edith Piaf's LA VIE EN ROSE, Dietrich's I HAVE A TRUNK IN BERLIN, Leslie Caron and HI LILI HI LO, Louis Jourdan and GIGI, Chevalier & Gingold I REMEMBER IT WELL,  and almost anyone's BEWITCHED, BOTHERED & BEWILDERED, IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND, The Beatles' SOMETHING and IN MY LIFE, etc.

You got me started. Obviously.

A song that makes me sad is JESUS TO A CHILD by GEORGE MICHAEL which he wrote when he lost his partner, Anselmo.


Kindness,
In your eyes,
I guess you heard me cry,
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child,
I'm blessed I know,
Heaven sent,
Heaven stole,
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child,
And what have I learnt from all this pain?
I thought I never feel the same about anyone ... or anything again,
But now I know,
When you find love,
When you know that it exists,
Then the lover that you miss,
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights,
When you've been loved,
When you know it holds such bliss,
Then the lover that you kissed,
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight.

Sadness,
In my eyes,
No one guessed,
No one tried,
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child,
Loveless and cold,
With your last breath you saved my soul,
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child,
And what have I learnt from all these tears?
I've waited for you all those years,
And just when it began,
He took your love away,
But I still say,
When you find love,
When you know that it exists,
Then the lover that you miss,
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights,
When you've been loved,
When you know it holds such bliss,
Then the lover that you kissed,
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight,
So the words you could not say,
I'd say them for you,
And the love we would have made,
I'll make it for too,
For every single memory,
Has become a part of me,
You will always be my love,
Well I've been loved,
So I know just what love is,
And the lover that I kissed,
Is always by side,
Oh the lover I still miss,
Was Jesus to a child.

[superkim24]

WOW I can definitely agree with the need of a hanky
here are a few of my tear jerkers

Anita Baker's - Been so Long, Luther Vandross - A house is not a home, Patti La Belle does a version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and I hate to admit but somehow her shrieks bring a tear to my eyes maybe cause an ex loved that version (i digress) Eric Clapton's If I saw you in Heaven is a sure tear jerker it's about his son who fell out a window and died as a toddler.
With my list being so long I guess it is time to admit that I am indeed a sapp there I said it
Is Admittance still the first step of recovery lol

[poz1970]

Most of the sound track of 'for the boys' with bette midler and james caan makes me bawl like a baby, it was my first hubby's favourite movie, and portions of it got played at his funeral

especially, "in my life", "come rain or come shine", and "every road leads back to you"..

Robbie picked out the music to be played at his funeral about a year before he died


J

[BT65]

Superkim, that's "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton.  Very good song and I love Eric.  I bought his autobiography when it first came out.

[ademas]

yeah, Tears in Heaven does it for me.

If it's "Over the Rainbow", it's gotta be Eva Cassidy's version.

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=eUwTdqPkluY

[minismom]

What a beautiful version of that song, ademas.

  "Tears in Heaven" is the song I used to sing to Mini when she was in the hospital.  I'm crying just thinking about it. 

[Oceanbeach]

I play Talking Old Soldiers by Elton John every time a friend dies of AIDS.  It isn't so much the song because I believe it is the best he has ever written but, the loss of a friend.  Have the best day

A song that makes me sad is JESUS TO A CHILD by GEORGE MICHAEL which he wrote when he lost his partner, Anselmo.

You don't get more emotionally naked of a pop CD than "Older" by George Michael. "Jesus to a child" is one track that gets me whenever I am down and feeling depressed.. though "You've been loved" makes me whimper more often ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaDGXXF5Ve0

".. Take it my love, she said
Don't think that God is dead,
Take it my love, she said,
You have been loved.."

Also, his version of "I can't make you love me"...

When old GW walks in to give his state of the union Monday night, any song they play will make me cry uncontrollably.

[Joe K]

I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.  It is sung by Fantine, and it tells of dreams.  It is especially hard if you think of many of the dreams involving promises to cure and treat HIV.  It was hard enough on the album, but the show had me balling.

[minismom]

You'll think I'm silly, but a couple of weeks after we brought home our middle son, the Disney cartoon movie "Tarzan" came out on video.  Our son came to us at 9wks old with detatched retinas, shaken baby, malnurished, post traumatic stress, reactive / attatchment disorder, and FAS.  We were told that he'd be a vegitable and we shouldn't expect much from him.  We were also told that no one would judge us when we decided to put him in an institution.

 Then, we bought our oldest son, nearly 3yrs old at the time, the movie "Tarzan".  When Nala, the gorilla "mom" holds baby Tarzan in her arms and sings, "For one so small, you are so strong....I'll hold you close, keep you safe from harm...The bond between us can't be broken...I'll be here, don't you cry...You'll be in my heart, from this day forth, now, and forever more...You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say.  You'll be in my heart.  Always."  I rocked our boys and cried.  We have the sound track, and it still makes me cry everytime I hear it.
