Song that makes you cry? - let's hear em!!!!!
GavinsMommy wrote: I love Switchfoot (Christian rock band). The night before Gavin was born I cleaned the whole time and played "On Fire" over and over again. It makes me just start bawling and I have no clue as to why. I don't even consider it a Christian song. I mean, it is...but it could be played on any radio station and not be considered religious. I just love it.
I'm sitting here with a fussy baby and playing it and singing it to him and he is just looking at me...makes me so thankful to have him...okay I have to stop crying 
POST LYRICS PPL i'm gettin mine, h/o
Tell you where you need to go
Tell you who you need to be
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you when you'll need to leave
But everything inside you knows
Says more than what you've heard
So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
Chorus:
And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)
Cause everything inside looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
Chorus:
When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
these mysteries...
I'm standing on the edge of me (x3)
I'm standing on the edge
Chorus:
And I'm on fire
When You're near you
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries...
kit_kats_mom replied: tears in heaven by Eric Clapton. I simply can't listen to that song...turns me into a blubbering idiot
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
iluvmysweetiepies replied: Let Them be Little
I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.
You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me you're changin' with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon.
So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give 'em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
I never felt so much in one little tender touch.
I live for those kisses, your prayers an' your wishes.
An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see.
Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is:
Please, let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let 'em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
The so innocent, precious soul:
You turn around, an' it's time to let them go.
So let them be little,
'Cause they're only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give 'em praise,
Give them love every day.
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
Let them be little.
GavinsMommy replied: i'm sitting here bawling my eyes out, lol...we're a bunch of babies i'm trying to sing the song the whole way through and i can't, i end up crying, lol... 
gr33n3y3z replied: tears in heaven by Eric Clapton
I agree with that
Just very sad
kit_kats_mom replied: oh, and that country song "I hope you dance". I don't know why but that one gets me too. Don't know who sings it though
Maddie&EthansMom replied: IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
Reba McEntire
If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known
This one and ONE MORE DAY by Diamond Rio  They both remind me of my Nanie.
Of course a lot of songs make me cry....But I just can't listen to these...I turn into a puddle when I do.
MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Tears in Heaven...OMG some friends played that at their sons funeral, now it all I think of and I'm gone
And Butterfly kisses by BOb Carlyle ( i think thats his name)
Alice replied: Dance with my Father.
Actually, it no longer makes me cry, since I'll stop whatever I'm doing to turn off the radio to avoid hearing it. It came out around the time my dad died, and I will never willingly listen to that song. It's beautiful, but tears my heart in two.
jdkjd replied: Baby Mine
The Last Unicorn (the Kenny Loggins version)
Rainbow Connection
You're Still You (Josh Groban-he sang it on Ally McBeal and I played it at our wedding)
To Where You Are (both Josh Groban)
Ummm...that's all I can think of right now.
kit_kats_mom replied: Rainbow Connection
from the muppets? 
Kirstenmumof3 replied: Butterfly Kisses
There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all...
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
You know how much I love you Daddy, but if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.
With all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time,
Oh, like the wind the years go by.
Precious butterfly,
Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the brideroom just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl,
And she leaned over...
Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it's just about time.
Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?
Daddy, don't cry.
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,
I couldn't ask God for more, than this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember...
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses.
I cry everytime I hear this song, I think of Emily and her Daddy and how close they are.
mummy2girls replied: I have a few special ones...
The dance by garth brooks because i played taht at jordans funeral:(
In my daughters eyes by martine mcbride...a song i sing to jenna
and my name by george canyon... about losing a child
~Roo'sMama~ replied: "When You Come Home" and "He's my Son" both my Mark Schultz. (Christian artist) They both make me bawl - especially if I try to sing along. 
When You Come Home:
First day of recess, they all laughed at me
when I fell off the swing set and scraped up my knee.
The nurse called my momma to say I'd be late,
when she gave me the phone I could hear momma say,
"I'm so sorry, son, though I think you're so brave,"
she was smilin' when she said,
*Chorus*
"When you come home
no matter how far
run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are loved
It's where you belong
I will be here
When you come home"
I waved good-bye through the window as I boarded the plane
my first job in Houston was waiting for me
Found a letter from momma tucked in my coat
as I flew down the runway I smiled when she wrote,
"I'll miss you son, you'll be so far away
I'll be waiting for the day..."
*Chorus*
"When you come home
no matter how far
run through the door and into my arms
it's where you are loved
it's where you belong
I will be here
When you come home"
"I don't think she can hear you now," the doctor told me.
"Your mother is fading. It's best that you leave."
so I whispered "I love you" then turned away
but I stopped at the door when I heard momma say
"I love you son, but they're callin' me away.
Promise me before I go..."
*Chorus*
"When you come home
no matter how far
run through the door and into my arms
it's where you are loved
it's where you belong
I will be here
When you come home"
He's My Son:
I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turnout right
See there is a boy that needs your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure you can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes
Chorus:
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel all right?
If you can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son
Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through But God who he needs right now is You Let him grow old Live life without fear
What would I be Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there
repeat chorus
Can you hear me? Can you see him? Please don't leave him He's my son.
atlantamomof2 replied: "I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me (My Dad passed away when this song was on the radio 24/7 in 2002 and it affected me soooo much )
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine
[Chorus]
I can only imagine [x2]
I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

Also....does anyone bawl every time they here "God Bless the U.S.A.???!!! I'm such a baby!
If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
paradisemommy replied: Butterfly Kisses and How Great Thou Art..both get me bawling every time!! 
PascosGirl replied: Come Home Soon by Shedaisy since my DH is always overseas fighting. It makes me cry like a baby.
I put away the groceries
And I take my daily bread
I dream of your arms around me
As I tuck the kids in bed
I don't know what you're doin'
And I don't know where you are
But I look up at that great big sky
And I hope you're wishin' on that same
bright star
I wonder, I pray
[Chorus:]
And I sleep alone
I cry alone
And it's so hard livin' here on my own
So please, come home soon
(Come home soon)
I know that we're together
Even though we're far apart
And I'll wear our lucky penny 'round my neck
Pressed to my heart
I wonder, I pray
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I still imagine your touch
It's beautiful missing something that much
But sometimes love needs a fighting chance
So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance
I wonder, I pray
[Second Chorus:]
I sleep alone
I cry alone
Without you this house is not a home
So please, come home soon
[Third Chorus:]
I walk alone
I try alone
I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone
So please, come home soon
Come home soon
Come home soon
JessC replied: My Immortal By Evanescence.
I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
’cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
[chorus:]
When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
[chorus]
I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along
And also... Shania Twain "Don't!"
Don't!
Don't... don't you wish we tried?
Do you feel what I feel inside?
You know our love is stronger than pride... oh
No don't... don't let your anger grow
Just tell me what you need me to know
Please talk to me, don't close the door
Hmmm, 'cause I wanna hear you
I wanna be near you
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away
Don't tell me to go
Don't!... Don't give up on trust
Don't give up on me, on us
If we could just hold on long enough
Hmmm, we can do it
we'll get through it
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go
Don't pretend that it's okay
Things won't get better that way
Don't do something you might regret someday...
Don't!
[dobro solo, instrumental]
Don't give up on me
Hmm, Don't!
(We can do it) We'll get through it
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go
Don't! (Don't fight dont argue)
Don't give up on me
(Give me the chance to say that I'm sorry)
Say that that I'm sorry
(Just let me love you)
Don't give up on me
(Don't turn me away)
Don't tell me to go
PascosGirl replied: Here Without You by 3 Doors Down, that one gets me too.
A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
I’m here without you baby
but your 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 your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either 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 your 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 your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love
I’m here without you baby
but your 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 your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me
PascosGirl replied: Yep - I am crying. 
atlantamomof2 replied:
I love that one too! 
JAYMESMOM replied: I heard this song for the first time on the way to the hospital after 20 hours of labor and it is what kept me going another 11 (with drugs) and heard it again on the way home and is really what I feel about my angel from God.
In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise
And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe in my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart has
had enough
It's giving more when you feel like
giving up
I've seen the light its in my daugher's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me for I'll be there in my daughter's eyes
jolene555 replied: okay, this might be weird, but the only song that i cry EVERYTIME i hear it is . . . O Holy Night. Depending on the mood just about any country or christian song could start a flood.
kit_kats_mom replied: and puff the magic dragon by peter paul & mary...dunno know why but waaahhhh!
GavinsMommy replied:
wow...i don't think i've cried for that one...not sure, lol.
i agree though about the mood thing.
TANNER'S MOM replied: Ok, I have a few.. Don't take the Girl.. Tim McGraw. I was in the hospital Pregnant the first time I heard that song.
I love If I had Only Known by Reba!
And the following song is one my uncle used to play for me and laugh when I cried. Just read the lyrics...it is not a typical song.
I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Tryin' to reach my destination before the sun went down
The old CB was blarin' away on channel 1-9!
When there came a little boy's voice on the radio line
And he said: "Breaker 1-9! Is anyone there?
Come on back, truckers and talk to Teddy Bear!"
Well, I keyed the mike and said: "You got it, Teddy Bear!"
And a little boy's voice came back on the air
"'Preciate the break, Who we got on that end?"
I told him my handle, and, then he began:
"Now, I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there
Mom says you're busy and for me to stay off the air
But you see, I get lonely and it helps to talk
'Cause that's about all I can do, I'm crippled, and, I can't walk!"
I came back and told him to fire up that mike
And I'd talk to 'im, as long as he liked
"This was my dad's radio", the little boy said
"But I guess it's mine and mom's now, 'cause my daddy's dead!"
"Dad had a wreck about a month ago
He was trying to get home in a blindin' snow
Mom has to work now, to make ends meet
And I'm not much help, with my two crippled feet!"
"She says not to worry that we'll make it alright
But, I hear her crying, sometimes late at night
You know there's just one thing I want more than anything else to see
Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me!"
"But, you see, my dad used to take me for rides when he was home
But, I guess that's all over now, since my daddy's gone
Not one breaker came on the old CB
As that little crippled boy talked with me
I tried hard to swallow a lump that just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy back in Greenville Town
"Dad was going to take mom and me with him later on this year, Why,
l remember 'im saying: 'Someday this old truck will be yours, Teddy Bear!'
But, I know I'll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again
But, this old base will keep me in touch with all my trucker friends!"
"Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now and leave you alone
'Cause it's about time for mom to come home
But, you give me a shout when you're passin' through
And I'll sure be happy to come back to you!"
Well, I came back and I said: uh! "Before you go 10-10
What's your home 20, little CB friend?"
Well, he gave me his address and I didn't once hesitate
'Cause this hot load of freight was just gonna have to wait
I turned that truck around on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229
And as I rounded the corner, oh, I got one heck of a shock
l8 wheelers were lined up for three city blocks!
Why, I guess every driver for miles around had caught Teddy Bear's call
And that little crippled boy was having a ball
For as fast as one driver would carry him in
Another would carry him to his truck and take off again
Well, you better believe I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in and put him down in his chair
And buddy if I never live to see happiness again
I want you to know I saw it that day, in the face of that little man
We took up a collection for him before his mama got home
And each driver said goodbye and then they all were gone
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
And said: "So long, trucker I'll catch ya again!"
Well, I hit the Interstate with tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio and I got another surprise
"Breaker 1-9!" Came a voice on the air
"Just one word of thanks from Mama Teddy Bear!"
"We wish each and every one, a special prayer for you
'Cause, You just made my little boy's dream come true
I'll sign off now, before, I start to cry
May God ride with you, 10-4, and goodbye
DansMom replied: A lot of songs make me cry. But I ALWAYS cry when I hear or sing "Little Drummer Boy", ever since I was a little girl. In fact, I'm tearing up right now! Jeez.
A couple of songs remind me of my breakup after 12 years with Mike, my first true love. Splitting up our years of lovingly collected christmas ornaments was so awful I can't even think about it without crying---George is so understanding when this happens, I would never be that way about a woman from his past! The song that makes me cry the most is a song by George Benson called "You don't know what love is".
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
OK, I'm crying now---this sucks. I'll have to shut my office door!
coasterqueen replied: There are several that make me cry but one that makes me cry for the stupidest reasons is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.
My2Beauties replied:
OMg I'm such a baby I just sat here and started crying at my desk reading the words to that song because I am getting married next month and thinking of dancing to my dad with that would have me crying hysterically!
The daddy/daughter dance, A song for my daughter on her wedding day by Ray Allaire is what we're dancing too though, it makes me cry too:
Ray Allaire, Mikki Viereck
Just once upon a yesterday
I held you in my arms
You grew into a little girl
with lovely childhood charms
Now it seems I only turned around
And I see you by his side
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter is a bride
I guess somehow I always knew
This day would soon be here
Still I wonder as I look at you
What became of all the years
And no words could ever quite express
The way I feel inside
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter is a bride
All the laughter and the teardrops
The sunshine and the rain
I would relive every moment, Dear
If I could bring them all back again
But now, my love, the time has come
To send you on your way
So I wish you every happiness
And the blessings of this day
And I hope the love I've given you
Will forever be your guide
Oh, I can't believe my eyes today
My daughter - Oh, I can't believe my eyes
My daughter - Oh, my angel and my pride
My daughter is a bride
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OMG, I'm a bluthering idiot too now!
AshleyRose replied: This one gets me every time...
Bonnie Raitt - I can't make you love me
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
Chorus: 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 lonely 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
Chorus: 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 lonely 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
Also My Immortal by Evanenscence.. reminds me of my lil sister for some reason and I have to turn it off...
DansMom replied: Ashley, that is so strange! That Bonnie Raitt song is the one that always makes Mike cry (we are still friends so I know this). Songs can be so powerful.
jdkjd replied:
Yup. both the original and the Kenny Loggins version. I think it's because I listened to the Kenny Loggins Pooh Corner cd through both pregnancies.
Lollie replied: A song that really touched my heart and brings tears to my eyes is 'You Raise me Up " by Josh Groban...It is sooo beautiful and the words!!! I LOVE that song!
A song that always stops Devlin in his tracks and gets him emotional is "Butterfly Kisses"..Cant think of the singers name right now.But the song is all about a dad's experiences through life as he watches his little girl growing up...
Cary Lynn replied: My Immortal and Here without you are the songs that tear me up. My immortal just because of the Lyrics and the Here without you is because of My Friend Timmy. It was playing alot when he was in Iraq.
Mommy2BAK replied: Awe, those are all great sad songs!
There are so many that make me cry, but this one really gets to me, because it kind of descibes John (and me kind of) when we first found out I was preggo and then we are SO happy now!
Kenny Chesney "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.
~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Oh that made me get all teary and I don't even know the music to it! If I ever hear that song anywhere I'm going to be in trouble!
Emeraldsmom replied: In My Daughters eyes by Martina Mcbride always makes me cry. Also the older country song by Tim Mcgraw called Don't Take The girl. That song always makes me cry.
guertin31 replied: This was 2 songs that when I went through my divorce, I would listen to over & over & over & over....
Coldplay
The Scientist
Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start
Coldplay
Trouble
Oh no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I said,
Oh no what’s this?
A spider web, and I’m caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I’ve done,
I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And i, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm.
Oh no I see,
A spider web and it’s me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here I am in my little bubble,
Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And i, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

Great, now I need a tissue....

DansMom replied:
Here, have one of mine! Divorcing someone you still love but it just won't work SUCKS---I truly know how you feel.
guertin31 replied: the sad part, was that no matter how hard I tried, no matter what I said or did, nothing was ever good enough. After 8 years together, I ended the insanity. It was hard, but worth it in the end of it all.
Sometimes, we just keep losing and losing until we feel that theres nothing to live around for... Then, things change... its the calm before the storm and before you know it, your life is turned in a different direction. It's up to you to move your head to where life is pointed... With the new love in my life and my new son, today, i'm happy...

DansMom replied:
Very well stated! In my marriage now I can be myself and it's not only good enough but great---what a liberation. And to have a family, a wonderful little boy, a happy marriage, is bliss. I sometimes am afraid I'm too happy now, like I'm tempting fate. While I still mourn the losses of my past, I'm constantly pinching myself right now because things are very good.
guertin31 replied:  I hear you... I was up late last night thinking about things in my past including my X wife and as I was looking at my wife sleeping like an angel I would just wonder if I was worthy of being happy...
I pinch myself from time to time... Keeps me grounded...
bwalkerletters replied: I agree with Alice.........Dance with my Father........the reason it makes my eyes swell and tear up is because I think of my little girls.  It's funny to think of a big guy crying like I do when I listen to that song. I have that Luther CD, but I don't listen to it much anymore. haha
MomToJade&Jordan replied: You guys sure know how to make a hormotional preggo woman
In my Daughters Eyes gets me every time, especially that last verse. I'm getting tears in my eyes just thinking about it. I can hardly sing that verse through all of the weeping.
Let Them be Little gets me as well. I saw the video the first time I heard the song and the water works were just a coming.
Butterfly Kisses used to mean something else to me. We didn't have a big wedding and no reception so I never did get that father, daughter dance. Now it makes me cry to think about my baby getting married some day. Watching her gliding around the dance floor with her Daddy on her wedding day. They grow up so darn fast.
All right I have got to stop torturing myself right now. I'm surprised Jade isn't over here asking me if I cry.
adamsmom replied: Christmas Shoes by Nu Song (a Christian group) that is played over and over at Christmas. I love the song, cry every time, but can't ever turn it off. It always seems to come on in the morning when I'm 2 minutes away from work, too. The Docs at the office know if I come in crying "that song was on again". lol!
Another one is 'He Walked on Water' by Randy Travis. Reminds me of my Grandfather and can't turn that one off either! Who am I kidding, I play them both on purpose sometimes!
babys_aura replied: Hmmmmm let me think....I am a pretty emotional person I cry at commercials for god's sake.....but the really really tough ones......are that song that came out after September 11th......"Silent Night, God's perspective"....oh my god I cannot listen to that without boohooing.
Also, I cry EVERY time I hear the Star Spangled Banner. It is very patriotic to see a sports team with their hands over their hearts, mouthing the words while someone sings it.
I also cry at "I'll be home for Christmas"....but only by Anne Murray......
Great idea for a thread!!!

Wow, very well said!! When I read this I smiled.. who knows why we go thru the things we do. Only God know for sure. What you just said was the story of my marriage. You learned your lesson and you learned it well. I commend you for moving forward...it takes alot of courage and strength to do what you just said. Your new love and son are lucky to have you.. You are a very strong person!!
I am very happy for you!!
MomToJade&Jordan replied:
I do this too. It's just something about that song.

That used to get to me, too. Then Cartman on South Park ruined it for me
I Hope you dance gets me everytime.

» I Hope You Dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
CCTandME replied: Don't really make me cry, but pull at the heart strings a little
anything by Alabama (my dad's favorite. he died 6-16-98)
Buy Me a Rose- Kenny Rogers (not sure it that is the title)
Life By the Drop- Stevie RayVaughn and many of his other songs.
I know there are MANY more, but can't think right now.
taylor&zachsmom replied: Colin Raye... If you get there before I do.........
Escape Club... I'll be there for you...
Both of these songs my dh put on a tape that he made for me when we were dating and they bring tears to my eyes and a lump into my throat every time I listen to them. They both relate to your love one dying. And it makes me ache to think of that day ever coming to me. I know that I will lose it.
