Yep Nessun Dorma too.

Also, Crying in the rain by the Everly Bros.

A chorus in Handel's Messiah - And He Shall Purify. A bit in it as the harmonies come together so beautifully to this wonderful crescendo has in me in tears every single time.

Plus lots already mentioned. You Raise Me Up gets me every time even though I don't really like it ?

Ha! I'm the same - most disconcerting when it comes on my iPod on the tube...

In terms of proper crying, it just depends what's going on in my life at the time, really

Another vote for One Sweet Day here, gets me every time

also 'Show me the meaning' by Backstreet Boys, It was released weeks after my mum died and the video to it starts off with someone on a life support machine,
Even now 8 years on when i go to their concerts i fall to pieces the minute they start to sing it

Chris de burgandy is on Loose Women now singing, lady in red, pass the hankies.

Butterfly kisses
Forever young by Rod Stewart and the one by Joan Baez. Fark - I am officially ancient

Wild is the Wind, Nina Simone
Misty Blue, Dinah Washington
The Power of Love, Frankie Goes to Hollywood
You're the best thing to happen to me-Gladys Knight

You've all made me ? and i'm at work.

My contribution to the blub fest;

You're in my Heart, You're in my Soul - Rod Stewart.

Most rousing hymns make me blub.

Jerusalem, O come All Ye Faithful, especially the verse you sing on Christmas Day, Thine be the Glory, Guide me O thou Great Jehovah, Amazing Grace, in fact anything I sang at "beer and hymns" last August. ??? ?

God the waterworks start for me just thinking about songs that make cry!

A House Is Not A Home - Luther Vandross (and the Matt Munro version)

Always and Forever - Luther Vandross

Rainy Night In Georgia - Brook Benton

The Blowers Daughter - Damien Rice

And I Love You So - Perry Como [:I]

There are loads more because I'm a sentimental fool. I used to sit sobbing with my mum watching Surpris Surprise FFS! ??

?Wahh! I feel really old now, Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers was the first single that I ever bought. It's not that old surely?

Jump, you fucker, jump, and we will catch you in this here blanket and you will be alright.
He jumped.
He hit the deck
He broke his fucking neck.
For there was no-oh blanket.
Laugh? We nearly shat... etc

Is that the one?

??? yup

fi-ii-ii-ilfy fcukers

Cracking up now

Oh God I'd forgotten about Bridge Over Troubled Water, that induces sobs, snot and a sore stomach from crying.

Hey that's no way to say goodbye - Leonard Cohen.

Be careful of my heart - Tracy Chapman

Lullaby - sung by Mary Black or Odiemonster.

Amazing Grace

There are others that have made me weep but these ones are front of mind.

Loads, I'm a persistent weeper at music:

Mad World - the Donnie Darko version
Run - Snow Patrol
Long Distance - Turin Brakes
most of Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls" album, particularly the Tom Wait song "Time")
Next Life - Suede
Return to Oz - Scissor Sisters

as well as most hymns, particularly "Abide With Me".

the first movement of the Elgar Cello Concerto ??[sob]

Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy
Runaway Train - Soul Asylum especially the video with all the runaways makes me blub.
Everybody Hurts - REM

These all make me cry sometimes but the one that really makes me sob is G4 singing When a Child is Born - when they play it on the music channels at Christmas, with the video where they're helping some children put on a nativity, it gets me every time! I'm sobbing away and Mr Caterpillar always thinks it's funny that I get so emotional about this song! ?

REM - Everybody Hurts
Simon & Garfunkel - Bride over troubled watersid="red">There is a song on Christina Aguileras stripped album, which always makes me cry. It's the one where she is talking about her abusive dad.
You'll never walk alone makes me cry aswell. They played that at my grandmas funeral.

Forgot: Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold and Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

With or without you - U2 I cry every time I hear it, even if I'm driving. I remember dancing with my Ex H to it at our wedding and thinking he looked happy and knowing deep down inside that I didn't love him. Had I known he was screwing someone els I'd probably not cry over it.

She's leaving home - the Beatles

I'm ok - christina A - its a beautiful solng

Cancer - My Chemical Romance

"Bright Eyes" from Watership Down

??the dead rabbits?

Anothewr vote for Tears in Heaven here.

Also Kate Bush "This womans work". I listened to this alot after my mum died - I don't really listen to it now as it is still upsetting.

Ditto to She's Leaving Home

The worst for me, and I can't quite believe no one else has said it, is Who Wants to Live Forever? by Queen. God I have goosebumps just thinking about it. I remember Seal having to sing it for the Freddie Mercury concert and he said before he didn't know how he was going to sing it without filling up.

I second Runaway Train by Soul Asylum - so moving
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
The Drugs don't Work - The Verve - brings back memories of my dad's fight with cancer
One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey
and another vote for Tears in Heaven
