Is there a song that brings tears to your eyes...

[Marla]

every time you hear it? I was downloading some songs from the internet and I came across 2 songs that I hadn't heard in a long time ...and when I listened to them, I just started to cry :bawling: . "Tears in Heaven" , by Eric Clapton always brings tears to my eyes...and do you remember "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks. It was quite the water works factory here today :bigcry:

I just love that song by Clapton. He wrote that after his son Connor fell from that hotel balcony and died. There is alot of love and soul in that song.

As the deer panteth for water, is a hymn that always makes me cry. Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler too.

[Marla]

I love the Winds beneath my Wings too. Also The Greatest Love of All by George Benson.

If These Walls Could Speak by Amy Grant and Go rest High on That Mountain by Vince Gill have me :bawling: whenever I hear them. Both remind me of my Grandpa - when he was battling cancer and then when he died. :(

Another :( song is Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.

[Mickey]

Wind Beneath my Wings does it to me, too. And What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. And the most recent song that gets me all choked up is Arms Wide Open by Creed.

Be Not Afraid and We Remember are my favorite hymns, but I always choke up so it's hard to sing along. Butterfly Kisses is so touching.

I LOVE "Tears in Heaven" , by Eric Clapton and Winds beneath my Wings... they both always get me crying... An older song that I've always loved is ""When a Man Loves a Woman". :)

:wave: :wave:

The hymn that can really get to me is "Here I am." It talks about going where God leads me. Awful hard to do sometimes.

Other songs that tear me up are "the Dance" by Garth Brooks , "Daddy's Hands" (don't remember who sings it)

I'm sure there are more, depending on the day and mood I'm in.

The ones that get to me are ones that remind me of special moments in my life. I have ones from old boyfriends, dh, our wedding, the birth of dd and ds and etc.

Other songs that tear me up are "the Dance" by Garth Brooks , "Daddy's Hands" (don't remember who sings it) both of these do it for me too. The Dance was played at a student's funeral, and Daddy's Hands at my grandfather's. There are many hymns that I can't even sing because when I think about the words, I am just overcome with their meaning for me.

Find Us Faithful by Steve Green is a tear jerker for me. It was one of the numbers our college choir did my freshman year. It basically talks about how our lives are a testimony to those who come behind us. My dad was preparing to go through testing for a heart/kidney transplant and we pretty much knew there wasn't much hope. This song spoke of him and his life so much, it was really hard to get through it on tour.

Another one is The Walk by Sawyer Brown (I think). First heard that one when I brought dd home from the hospital and sat there blubbering. Part of it was hormonal but part of it was getting a glimpse of what my life might hold in the future with a daughter.

Not sure who sings it or the actually name but heard a song on my way to work just before Christmas about a little boy who wanted to buy his mother a pair of shoes because she had been sick a long time and was going to die any time. He wanted her to look nice when "Mommy meets Jesus tonight". He didn't have enough money to buy the shoes.
It was so sad.

I love the Eric Clapton song and Bette Midlers song I get coughed up when I hear Daddy's Little Girl and unfortunately Amazing Graze tears me apart.

My father (an amazingly wonderful man) never asked anything of myself or my siblings, however, one night while joking around he said he wanted me to sing Amazing Grace when he passed away. That Christmas my parents were in Florida I didn't know what to give them so I made a tape of their favourite songs. I sang Amazing Grace as a joke. That July my father died.

I hated music and songs made me angry. Last September after three years I finally joined a group in my area and started (through the tears) to sing again.

:( What a sad experience, but what a neat gift for your dad and one that I am sure he enjoyed. Obviously he enjoyed listening to you sing and I think it was something he probably treasured hearing even though you had some differing emotions due to the circumstances that evolved. Glad to hear you're singing again - musical talent is such a gift!! :)
