Songs that make you cry

I just think about my Dad and if Iā€™d listened to him more my life could have been better.

This is well before my time (some things are :)). It may be old but the crescendos in this song about slavery can bring a lump to my throat. Paul Robeson had a great baritone voiceā€¦

Joe Brown sings ā€˜Iā€™ll See You In My Dreamsā€™ at the end of every concert (Iā€™ve been to 3). Iā€™ve heard it said the song is in remembrance of Vicki Brown, his first wife (died 1991). I donā€™t know if thatā€™s true but if it is, it makes this song a sad one and maybe tear-worthyā€¦

Lovely contributions from you all.
Those sad songs do evoke memories.

This made me cry the first couple of dozen times I saw it.

ā€¦ just because I loved the music 50 odd years ago then didnā€™t listen to them again until recently ā€¦ old friends, orchestra 'n all, drums magnifico.

Very moving Doody.

Please, I would love to hear Vicki Carr singing ā€˜It Must Be Himā€™ reminding me of the hours waiting on the phone for that special call.

And Perry Como singing ā€˜I THnk of Youā€™

Thank you

John Denverā€¦On The Wings Of A Dream, it was playing when my Dad died.

Please listen to the words.

One of the saddest, most emotional songs ever written, The change at about 2 mins in makes you choke up, an emotional roller coaster.

Itā€™s from The Marriage of Figaro if you werenā€™t familiar with it.

Not into sad songs myself but this is good if you like that sort of thing.
