We Shall Overcome
You are my Sunshine
Something , Beatles on Abbey Road
Reasons, Earth Wind and Fire

Did you know George borrowed the opening lyric from his friend James Taylor? "Something in the Way She Moves" by JT is also a pretty great song.

PP here -- thank you for that back story about Something. It became one of my Dad's favorite songs, and every time I came home to visit he'd ask me to sit down at the piano and play it. He was no singer, but I just got a kick out of how much he enjoyed the song. A very nice memory.

Agree with so many above (and, dude, we old Indigo Girls fans).

More:
"Up the Stairs, Into the Fire" -- Springsteen
"Deep Dark Truthful Mirror" -- Elvis Costello

Happy tears:
"I'm Yours" -- Jason Mraz (first time my daughter smiled was to me singing that song)
James Taylor -- Carolina in My Mind, Sweet Baby James
John Denver -- Country Roads! I know, I'm a dork.

Cat's in the Cradle. I cry every.single.time I hear that song and then feel like a shitty mom for the times I've dissed my kid ("can't right now...") to go do something else.

Cats in the Cradle by Cat Stevens

Since this song has been mentioned several times, I want to mention that it was Harry Chapin who wrote it (and Cat Stevens never sang it).
