It is the return of Name a Song That Makes You Cry. One year later I am curious to see if you have new songs to add to the list. Here is what we came up with last year.

I hadn't heard of some of these before and silly me just HAD to click on them. OY... sitting here crying. Yep, they do!
Al kol eleh
When I was a teenager, it was "When a Man Loves a Woman". When my kids were babies, it was "Sunrise, Sunset". Now that I'm getting old, it's "Happy Birthday to You".
Shoot! I came here in a hurry and this is a cool post that I need time for. I'll be back when time permits...
Real quik, tho, I've lost my L.M. cd with Lady of Shalott on it which I LOVED so much that I bought the print of John Waterhouse's painting of her and it hangs over the mantle in my livingroom.
You have good taste (well, besides Barry M.) and great wherewithall (is that a word?) Ok, fortitude? It's hard work linking to all those vids. Only a crazy person would do that. ;-P
You have At Seventeen on the list. There is a reason we met, for sure. :)
Hi Val,
We aim to please.
JF,
Been looking for a good version to link to, but haven't found one yet.
Raizy,
It is hard to be 32. ;)
Wink,
I'd like to buy property in Fortitude, I hear that the prices are about equal to perseverance.
Mr. Lady,
But of course. ;)
I have two:
Oof Gozal by Arik Einstein (even more than Sunrise, Sunset)
Hold Me Now by Johnny Logan (Eurovision Song Contest winner some 10 years ago)
OMG Hold me now made me cry so much as a kid, even more so now.
one song that makes the tears flow is bob segers we've got tonight/. i dont know why, but it gets me everytime.
terry jack's seasons in the sun
Bob is great.
Bell Bottom Blues - Derek and the Dominos
Angel - Fleetwood Mac (This line specifically always makes me sad: "I still look up, when you walk in the room. I've the same wide eyes, now they tell the story.")
Derek and The Dominos- always loved Clapton.
thank you
