If you have grown up kids this one will just kill you .

Country music is best for tear jerkers --

Believe -- Brooks & Dunn
Go Rest High on that Mountain -- Vince Gill and Allison Krauss

But this Kathy Mattea song gets me every time: Who's Gonna Know But Me? (I wasn't an only child, but I've lost all of my family).

"Remember me" from the movie Coco. Open the flood gates when that scene plays in the movie!

Mine is Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA. It’s such a corny song but my mom used to cry when she listened to it when I was a teen, and now as a parent I understand why.

Since we are going ABBA “I have a dream”

+1
So sweet and I love the children's voices.

Ugh I just listened to Slipping through my Fingers. I listened to Abba Gold nonstop in my 20s and this song didn't register. Now
I have a DD and I'm ugly crying.

Please Don't Go - KC and the Sunshine Band.

I was putting my son on a bus with a bunch of crying people saying goodbye to their kids that were reporting to their military posts. I held it together for 3 hours. The bus left, I got in the car and it started to rain. Hard rain. I put on the radio and this song was playing. I cried my ass off all the way home. Hysterical crying. My son and I were tight. I felt like my best friend was leaving. I could hardly breathe.

We were moving to another state in 3 days. I think I had a nervous breakdown. My heart was so broke. I actually contemplated killing myself but I had another kid to think about and a husband that was feeling like I was only he looked at this as an adventure. He saw life, I felt gloom.

I think I cried every day for a year. Love the song, don't listen to it. Never told anyone this story.

This one gets me too.

I had a summer fling with the gentlest man I've known to date. I had to move at the end of the summer and one night we were drunk at 2 am, eating pancakes in a diner, and this song played and we looked at each other and cried. Forever etched in my memory.

Any song that's been played during a photo slide show at a funeral...

The latest was 'Supermarket Flowers' by Ed Sheeran

I was already a bawling mess listening to the letters from his daughters (40 yr old dad lost to cancer).

Then that song and the whole line 'a hearts that's been broken is a heart that's been loved'

I cried. A lot. For a long time.

OK these are some of the actual lyrics

Supermarket Flowers

Dad always told me, "don't you cry when you're down"
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home

Silent All These Years - yes. Never fails to make me teary.

Just thought of this thread when I heard Helplessly Hoping by Crosby Stills and Nash today...waterworks! Great song, though.

Who Knew by Pink, but only if you know the context of the song, which is watching someone unable to overcome drug addiction
