Songs that bring a tear

[highway61]

Was listening to a song earlier that i find almost always brings a tear to the eye, and wondered which ones do that for you. I do not mean specific ones that may have deeply personal memories as I appreciate how personal they are. More along the lines of "everyday" songs/tunes.
For me there are two that come to mind. Just now I heard Amazing Grace, which tends to really impact me, and the other is Abide with Me..

In fact anything by Celine Dion.

Can empathise mate. For me it was Bridge over troubled waters by Johnny Cash at my daughters memorial service three years ago. We had three songs that day, the other two were Dylan songs, Forever Young and Girl of the north country

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Toni Braxton -Unbreak My Heart.

Good song and was a fav of one of my lads when he was 13 and was taken ill and this song was in my head as we travelled from Brighton to Great Ormond Street with the unmentionable thought that he might not be coming back.

We had a happy ending and, despite having to give up any thoughts of playing footie, he has done 3 marathons and is Albion mad.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

There's loads, but this one always comes to mind.

Both of mine are Queen songs.

These are the days of our lives and Mother Love.

Both very moving given the circumstances.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Seasons in the sun.
Terry Jacks

Think its because when i first heard it i was at a young age, in love, and it made me realise that nothing is forever.

...serious head back on...

Agree with 'These are the days of our lives', also 'Tears in heaven' by Clapton. Also, depending upon the circumstances (mainly how introspective I'm feeling), sometimes 'The drugs don't work' by the Verve.
