I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt makes me cry every freakin time. EVERY TIME. Cali *********** Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart And I'll feel the power, but you won't No, you won't Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see the love you don't feel, when you're holding me Morning will come, and I'll do what's right just give me till then, to give up this fight and I will give up this fight Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart And I'll feel the power, but you won't No, you won't Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

This song, Troy by Sinead O'Connor makes me cry AND it makes me angry at the same time. It makes me think of a particular person and gets me EVERY TIME. I'll remember it And Dublin in a rainstorm And sitting in the long grass in summer Keeping warm I'll remember it Every restless night We were so young then We thought that everything We could possibly do was right Then we moved Stolen from our very eyes And I wondered where you went to Tell me when did the light die You will rise You'll return The phoenix from the flame You will learn You will rise You'll return Being what you are There is no other Troy For you to burn And I never meant to hurt you I swear I didn't mean Those things I said I never meant to do that to you Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead Oh, does she love you What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do? Do you love her? Is she good for you? Does she hold you like I do? Do you want me? Should I leave? I know you're always telling me That you love me Just sometimes I wonder If I should believe Oh, I love you God, I love you I'd kill a dragon for you I'll die But I will rise And I will return The Phoenix from the flame I have learned I will rise And you'll see me return Being what I am There is no other Troy For me to burn And you should've left the light on You should've left the light on Then I wouldn't have tried And you'd never have known And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter No I wouldn't have pulled you close I wouldn't have screamed No I can't let you go And the door wasn't closed No I wouldn't have pulled you to me No I wouldn't have kissed your face You wouldn't have begged me to hold you If we hadn't been there in the first place Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh Every look that you threw told me so But you should've left the light on You should've left the light on And the flames burned away But you're still spitting fire Make no difference what you say You're still a liar You're still a liar

Then, tonight, I heard this song and had a crying fit....Could someone just shoot me now please?[:o] "Unbreakable Heart" An empty house A broken fairy tale A hollow girl with empty arms From an angel's tears God made the stars Why can't he make me an unbreakable heart In my blue world You shone like heaven's fire And left me cryin' in the dark How could anyone Be so hard Did you think I had An unbreakable heart I suppose I should know Sometimes love just comes and goes But I believed, foolish me We'd go on and on One day someone will come to you And rock you tightly in her arms Please remember this when you drop your guard Nobody has an unbreakable heart From an angel's wings to a fallen star God makes everything But unbreakable hearts

Oh yeah, I forgot this one, a recent addition that makes me cry also, even though it's not my usual genre. A good friend sent it to me after some very old trauma resurfaced to smack me in the head. Cali *************** Holy Water** by Big & Rich Somewhere there's a stolen halo I used to watch her wear it well Everything would shine Wherever she would go But lookin' at her now, you'll never tell Someone ran away with her innocence A memory she can't get out of her head And I can only imagine what she's feelin' when she's prayin' Kneelin' at the edge of her bed [Chorus:] And she says, take me away Then take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me Like Holy Water Holy Water She wants someone to call her angel Someone to put the light back in her eyes She's lookin' through the faces and unfamiliar places She needs someone to hear her when she cries [Chorus:] And she says, take me away Then take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me Like Holy Water Holy Water Like Holy Water She just needs a little help To wash away the pain she's felt She wants to feel the healin' hands of someone who understands [Chorus:] [2x] And she says, take me away Then take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me Like Holy Water Holy Water Like holy water Like holy water Like holy water Like holy water

Ok, now THIS is the saddest song I have ever actually heard. In fact, my dad made me listen to it after it made HIM cry... Kathy Mattea "Where Have You Been?" Claire had all but given up When she and Edwin fell in love She touched his face and shook her head In disbelief she sighed and said In many dreams I've held you near Now at last you're really here Chorus Where have you been? I've looked for you for ever and a day Where have you been? I'm just not myself when you're away He asked her for her hand for life Then she became a salesman's wife He was home each night by 8 But one stormy evening he was late Her frightened tears fell to the floor Until his key turned in the door Chorus They'd never spent a night apart For 60 yrs she heard him snore Now they're in a hospital In seperate beds on different floors Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names of family She never spoke a word again Then one day they wheeled him in He held her hand and stroked her hair In a fragile voice she said Chorus Where have you been Ive searched for you forever and a day Where have you been Im just not myself when your away Im just not myself when your away

The Moody Blues, "Tuesday Afternoon" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjBvPHqO9KU "Nights in White Satin" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjBvPHqO9KU Paul Simon`s "Father&Daughter" http://play.rhapsody.com/paulsimon/surprise/fatheranddaughter Check out the funky bass line on this tune. The lyrics are very moving,and the female backup`s voice is sweet and delicate. If you leap awake In the mirror of a bad dream And for a fraction of a second You cant remember where you are Just open your window And follow your memory upstream To the meadow in the mountain Where we counted every falling star I believe the light that shines on you Will shine on you forever And though I cant guarantee Theres nothing scary hiding under your bed I’m gonna stand guard Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever And never leave till I leave you With a sweet dream in your head Im gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So youll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you Trust your intuition Its just like going fishing You cast your line And hope you get a bite But you dont need to waste your time Worrying about the market place Try to help the human race Struggling to survive its harshest night Im gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So youll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you Im gonna watch you shine Gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign So youll always know As long as one and one is two There could never be a father Who loved his daughter more than I love you Van Morrison`s "The Water" The Eagles "Desperado" The Beatles "She`s Leaving Home" Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven"

~ Fast Reply ~ Wow some great songs here. Simple Man, Wasted Time, Man with the Child in His Eyes...good stuff. I tend to get carried away when it comes to music & lyrics, so I'll only post four (only!) that are quite moving to me. But there are a ton more - I mean, I don't even have Van Morrison on this list! The last song is an awesome, uplifting song that's been in my head since I saw Harold & Maude the other day. Here goes: Beloved Wife (Natalie Merchant) You were the love for certain of my life You were simply my beloved wife I don't know for certain how I'll live my life Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife I can't believe I've lost the very best of me You were the love for certain of my life For 50 years simply my beloved wife With another love I'll never lye again It's you I can't deny It''s you I can't defy A depth so deep Into my grief Without my beloved soul I renounce my life As my right Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife My beloved wife My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone Now my suffering begins My love is gone Would it be wrong if I should Surrender all the joy in my life Go with her tonight? My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone Would it be wrong if I should Just turn my face away from the light Go with her tonight? Change (Tracy Chapman) If you knew that you would die today, Saw the face of God and love, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that love can break your heart When you're down so low you cannot fall Would you change? Would you change? How bad, how good does it need to get? How many losses? How much regret? What chain reaction would cause an effect? Makes you turn around, Makes you try to explain, Makes you forgive and forget, Makes you change? Makes you change? If you knew that you would be alone, Knowing right, being wrong, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that you would find a truth That brings up pain that can't be soothed Would you change? Would you change? How bad, how good does it need to get? How many losses? How much regret? What chain reaction would cause an effect? Makes you turn around, Makes you try to explain, Makes you forgive and forget, Makes you change? Makes you change? Are you so upright you can't be bent? If it comes to blows are you so sure you won't be crawling? If not for the good, why risk falling? Why risk falling? If everything you think you know, Makes your life unbearable, Would you change? Would you change? If you'd broken every rule and vow, And hard times come to bring you down, Would you change? Would you change? If you knew that you would die today, If you saw the face of God and love, Would you change? Would you change? Would you change? Would you change? Get Me Through December (Natalie MacMaster & Alison Krauss) How pale is the sky that brings forth the rain As the changing of season prepares me again For the long bitter nights and the wild Winter day My heart has grown cold my love stored away My heart has grown cold my love stored away I've been to the mountain left my tracks in the snow Where souls have been lost and the walking wounded go I've taken the pain no girl should endure But faith can move mountains of that I am sure Faith can move mountains of that I am sure Get me through December A promise I'll remember Just get me through December So I can start again No divine purpose brings freedom from sin And peace is a gift that must come from within I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Get me through December A promise I'll remember Just get me through December So I can start again If You Want to Sing Out (Cat Stevens) Well If you want to sing out Sing out. And if you want to be free Be free. 'Cause there's a million things to be. You know that there are. And if you want to live high Live high. And if you want to live low Live low. 'Cause there's a million ways to go. You know that there are. You can do what you want. The opportunity's on. And if you find a new way You can do it today. You can make it all true. And you can make it undo You see. Ah It's easy. Ah You only need to know. Well If you want to say yes Say yes. And if you want to say no Say no. Cause there's a million ways to go. You know that there are. And if you want to be me Be me. And if you want to be you Be you. Cause thee's a million things to do. You know that there are.

i have two that get me first one daddy's hands by holly dunn I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer, And reachin' out to hold me when I had a nightmare. You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines, Years of work and worry had left their mark behind. I remember daddy's hands , how they held my momma tight, And patted my back for something done right. There are things I've forgotten that I loved about the man, But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands. Daddy's hands, soft and kind when I was cryin', Daddy's hands, hard as steel when I done wrong. Daddy's hands weren't always gentle, But I've come to understand, There was always love in daddy's hands. I remember daddy's hands, workin til they bled, Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed. If I could do things over I'd live my life again, And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands. Daddy's hands, soft and kind when I was cryin', Daddy's hands, hard as steel when I done wrong. Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand, There was always love in daddy's hands. (A Capella) Daddy's hands, soft and kind when I was cryin', Daddy's hands, hard as steel when I done wrong. Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand, There was always love in daddy's hands.

second one is because my oldest is almost 18 "There Goes My Life" All he could think about was I'm too young for this. Got my whole life ahead. Hell I'm just a kid myself. How'm I gonna raise one. All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke. So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast. Oh well, those plans are long gone. [Chorus:] And he said, There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything. Might as well kiss it all good-bye. There goes my life....... A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later. That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator. Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl. Momma's waiting to tuck her in, As she fumbles up those stairs. She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear. Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls. [Chorus:] He smiles..... There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything. I love you, daddy good-night. There goes my life. She had that Honda loaded down. With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express. He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go. She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast. [Chorus:] And he cried, There goes my life. There goes my future, my everything. I love you. Baby good-bye. There goes my life. There goes my life. Baby good-bye.

Way back a million years ago, I used to be part of the karaoke crowd (I know [8\|] ) but anyway, back in the old laser-disk days, they had videos that came along with them, not just words on the screen. The video that went along with Willie Nelsons "You Were Always On My Mind" depicted a single mom singing this about her two kids that she didn't get to spend enough time with due to working and, well, just being a single mom. So now when I listen to the words with that in mind, it still brings on the tears. Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have And maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second best I'm sorry I was blind But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
