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

Recommended Posts

Tim McGraw

If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed where it would go.
If you're reading this I'm already home.

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak
I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that id follow in his shoes

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home

If you're reading this, there is going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and that?s okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home

The Reason - Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person
as many things I wish I didn't do
but I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
it's something I must live with everyday
and all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
and be the one who catches all your tears
that's why I need you to hear

I've found a resaon for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that I do
and the reason is you

I guess it is hard to hide a hard on when you're dressed like Minnie Pearl

Yeah, that's a good one too.

Check out Doyle Bramhall Sr. version as well.....he was good friends with SRV and they worked this song out together. I have met Dolye a few times after shows and he is a great guy.:)

The guy singing it Weighed about 350 pounds and played a ukelele. It looked like it was a postage stamp on the side of a semi-trailer. The song and the National Anthem were played back to back. It was said it was Eloys wake up call before coming to Quincy too.By the way you could tell who were veterans, because we alone stopped talking stood up and saluted when our Anthem was played
My personal favorite was by Simon and Garfunkle "Like a bridge over troubled waters" as it was played at a dear friends funeral. It brings back many memories . With a tear and a grin going at the same time.



Should have clarified that by saying that the song doesn't simply make me cry because of the lyrics, its the wonderful memories (happy and sad) that accompany the song when I hear it :)

I'll have to check that out. I used to go see Doyle Jr. a lot when I lived in Austin, but I don't think I've heard much of Doyle Sr.'s stuff.

And I was fortunate to see SRV play live one time, though I have to admit that I hardly knew who he was at the time. :$

& these:
"Why They Call It Falling"

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
When it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin

Blessed

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

Years

faded photographs the feelings all come back
even now some times you feel so near
and I still see your face like it was yesterday
it’s strange how the days turned into years
years of hanging on to dreams are already gone
years of wishing you were here
after all this time you’d think I wouldn’t cry
its just that I still love you after all theses years

night time gently falls another day is gone
I turn around to find your still not here
I leave the hall light on
in case you come back home
funny I’ve been saying that for years
years of hanging on to dreams are already gone
its a wishing you were here
after all this time you’d think I wouldn’t cry
its just that I still love you after all these years

after all these----- years

Actually, Dylan's "Forever Young", almost any good version by any good band or singer. The Rod Stewart version is on the memorial vid for the Perris Otter crash.

My personal tear jerker version is Neil Young, singing at the 1991 Bill Graham Memorial concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Neil was backed up by The Grateful Dead and Jerry played a very restrained and poignant guitar lead. It's forever burned into my memory by my own brother's death from cancer at the time.

A real shame that performance isn't commercially available, but then such are the joys of bootleg collecting.

Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

YES! I have those lyrics throughout my son's first year photo album. :)

I love listening to Planet Waves and those two versions back to back. Good stuff.

Every Funeral I go to latley I hear this song:

Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
....
