What song puts a tear in your eye when you hear it

This one does it for me. It has to do with a memorial video for a skydiver I once knew.

"Here Without You" Three Doors Down

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Ok here is mine.

Stand My Ground by Corey Smith

Will You take me up to rose hill
When you lay my body low
wrap me in a flag and throw some flowers on the ground
say a few words and then let me go,
there's no need to defend my honor
or justify the life i gave
there's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there please
don't pour salt upon my grave
i knew long ago that i would be the one
to brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums, ohhh

I stood my ground
i stood for something,
worth falling for

Ask my father to forgive me, i know he didn't understand
he worked to hard for way to many years to lose his boy in a foreign sand
there is no doubt he is angry, theres no doubt where he'll place the blame
but don't let him fall apart mama, don't let him go back to those pills
only time will ease the pain, i died a patriot a soldier just like him
fought like he taught me to until the very end, ohh

i stood my ground
i stood for something
worth falling for yeah yeah
worth falling for

i hope this war is worth dying for
i hope this war is worth dying for
i hope this war is worth dying for

Take my strips and take my medals
take my cross and these dogtags too
put em in a package stained with your tears
send em up to pennsylvania ave
my last regards to the man in charge
let him know i served my country well
yeah he was right behind me all the way to kandahar
the night my broken body fell
don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer
for my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there

they stand their ground
they stand for something
worth falling for x2

i hope this war is worth dying for
i hope this war is worth dying for
i hope this war is worth dying for
Yeah...You need to grow up. -Skymama

oh sooo many... but heres a couple that jump to mind

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmZdpkh14_Q

So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

So you stole my world, now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl leaves me down and loney
Well send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better.

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

And it might take some time to patch me up inside
but I cant take it so I, I run away and hide
And I might find in time that you were always right
You're always right.

So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now, I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
Was it what you wanted?
Could it be I'm haunted?

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You dont want me back
You're just the best I ever had.

You're just the best I ever had

They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said, "You're gonna be late if you don't go"
He held her tight, said, "I'll be alright
I'll call you tonight to let you know"
He bought a postcard, on the front it just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

She got a call that night but it wasn't from him
It didn't sink in right away, ma'am the plane went down
Our crews have searched the ground
No survivors found she heard him say
But somehow she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven with a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loves and they told her
How he'd love her if his arms would reach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

The weather's nice, in paradise
It's summertime all year and all the folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"
Wish you were here

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There?s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it?s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I?ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You?re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There?s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don?t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It?s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You?re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You?re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

"Kiss At the End of the Rainbow" - Mitch & Mickey (aka Eugene Levy and Katherine O'Hara)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffP1OZvRDV4&feature=related


This will seem like a weird choice, but Katherine O'Hara's vocal in this song NEVER fails to make me cry - I seriously lose it when she does her solo part in this song, like a Celtic lament that just tears me apart. Beautiful!

Imagine by John Lennon still gives me chills and reminds of the night I found out he'd been murdered.

There's a Michael McDermott song- Annie and the Aztec Cross that also gets to me but I couldn't tell you why. Its just sad and beautiful at the same time.

Eres Mi Religion by Mana is probably one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and that one can get me a little weepy on the right day.

I have so many too.... I am definitly a mushy cryer type, but this song does it for me every time...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ycze0tiMAPw

It reminds me so much of my grandparents and their undying dedication to each other. My grandpa has been gone for almost 10 years now and my grandma still lives for him everyday... Love like that is nearly non-existent these days...

The Smashing Pumpkins: To Forgive

ten times removed
i forget about where it all began
bastard son of a bastard son of
a wild eyed child of the sun
and right as rain i'm not the same but
i feel the same i feel nothing
holding back the fool again
holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important
holding back the fool again
i sensed my loss
before i even learned to talk
and i remember my birthdays
empty party afternoons won't come back
holding back the fool again
holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important
holding back the fool again
i forget to forget me
i forget to forget you see
nothing is important to me
i knew my loss
before i even learned to speak
and all along, i knew it was wrong
but i played along, with my birthday song
holding back the fool again
holding back the fool pretends
i forget to forget nothing is important
holding back the fool again
