What songs bring tears to your eyes?

All of these songs make me cry still today. Some because of the content, some because of the condition of the world at the time, and some because of my personal experiences and mental anguish. All in all, I think these songs bring me face to face with the reality of life, contrary to the romantic thoughts I had as a boy.

[Verse 1]
Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone

[Verse 2]
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

(Instrumental Bridge)

[Verse 3]
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

[Bridge]
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

[Verse 4]
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John
 
So many of these songs make me teary... especially the first 2.. they never fail to make me cry, and it's no wonder that 'You'll never walk alone'' is a football Anthem here with the fans...

The hollies ..he ain't heavy talks to all of us who have had hard times in our lives while we're supporting others.

This never fails to make me cry...not necessarily by this singer... but by the time they get to 'Christ is the Lord', I'm sobbing... :cry:🥲



This one for all of us who lost someone dear to us ( altho' Mike is singing about his father in this , I always cry at the loss of my mother when I was a teen) ....

This because it's probably one of the saddest songs ever...



...and this because when my mum took her own life when I was a teen, and was gone from us in an instant without warning my 17 year old brother sang this , and played it everywhere for weeks...and today 48 years later, I am crying now listening to it...:cry:

I love that song.. it doesn't make me cry but it is a beautiful song..


. oooh that reminds me of a very old song that I really love..I think the poem was written in the 19th century by Joyce kilmer.. and put to music in the 1920's and sung by many people of the era including Mario Lanza.. but even tho' it was long before I was born this one always gets me choked,

...
 
I recently watched the 2018 film ‘Widows’ featuring this song by Nina Simone, for some reason it had me blubbing and I know it always will...
