What song makes you want to cry?

Everytime, I hear 'Peter, Paul & Mary's' "Puff, the Magic Dragon", I feel sad and teary eyed. Poor little dragon, with his scales falling off, broken hearted, pining away.

The Beginning of My End by The Unifics Had to look it up. I'm listening to it now. It gets me every time I listen to it. Wow!

Actually, the song was "Old Shep", as this is having fun with childhood memories. Dad and Little Sister are both gone now, but as adults, she said she'd have to leave the room every time Dad played and sang that song.

I didn't cry after my Dad died until I heard a song we played and sang together, a recording by Ricky Scaggs of "Crying My Heart Out Over You".

This song ran through my head as my Grandma's coffin was lowered:

Could We Start AGAIN, PLEASE!!!!

My mom was had a lot of issues and was not a very happy person but this song always brought a smile on her face. I can't listen to it...

I was a born a little before Andy Williams released his version of "Moon River". I do not remember this but apparently my dad used to sing this to me every night when I was a baby because I was his only son and his "Huckleberry Friend". Can't listen to this either....

That is one of those songs that hit the "nostalgia trigger" as I get older because of the lyrics.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
I used to sing it with my dad while he played piano

Puff the Magic dragon was my very first record I got as a kid.
