This might sound stupid, but I've moved around a lot and this song makes me tear up a little.

Hey There Delilah
by The Plain White T's

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Reminds me of a friend I had, her name wasn't Delilah, and I am a girl, so I'm not marrying her or anything, but she's my best friend and I moved away. She actually does live in New York City. We keep in touch.

I have never heard that song.
I know Greenday's 'Time Of Your Life' made me cry, but i was young, so i didnt think it counted, but it guess it does.

Really! My school only plays songs for the year 12's on there last day ever, i know for about 10 years running they had 'Time Of Your Life', but when i finsished year 12 in 2005 i was on the commitee, and all i wanted to do was pick the songs, as much as i love Greenday i didnt want that song.

So we chose 'I had the time of my life' dont know who sings it, but i know it is from a movie, Dirty Dancing, i think it was, and i also chose 'Helena" which i was told wasnt appropriate, but the lyrics are saying - So long, not good night, so technically it goes, because it was so long, i was never going to see more then half of them people again, and people cried when it was on aswell, so i was pretty happy i chose that one.

You know, there's country music that's too mushy and then there's country music that really isn't that country. Like Rascal's Flatts' What Hurts the Most and Words I Couldn't Say are a few teary songs, but you know, not that country like Tim McGraw or something.

Yeah they're not country like Tim McGraw but something I don't understand about country musicians is they don't have a southern accent until they start singing...that's always bothered me. Well sure, some of them DO have a southern accent but like Keith Urban is Australian but when he sings he sounds like he's from Tenessee so you KNOW it's all fake.

I can't believe noone has mentioned Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss! It's about a guy commititng suicide over a girl that doesn't love him back. The girl then committs suicide.

Tears me up everytime

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

I've also noticed that country music fans are completely oblivious to the fact that the singer's accent is most of the time completely put on.

Okay - completely cheesy - but 'The Green Green Grass of Home' by Tom Jones used to leave me sobbing - 'Puff the Magic Dragon' and 'The Unicorn' by The Bachelors - just colour me sad!

"Whiskey Lullaby", "Feed Jake", "Riding with Private Malone", "Go Rest High on that Mountain", and "The Dance" are songs to get me crying everytime I hear them.

This song by Muse does it for me :

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you .

Also :
'Hallelujah' by Jeff Buckley
'Waterfall' by Griffin House
'In My Life' by The Beatles
'Lately' by Stevie Wonder
amongst others which I will remember after I've posted this ,no doubt !
