its got to be fields of gold but sung by Eva cassidy.....so beautiful...

**wipes tear**

 

Fields Of Gold

(Sting)

Oh oh oh
You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze a while
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
There have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in fields of gold
We’ll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
There have been some that I’ve broken
But I swear in the days still left
We’ll walk in fields of gold
We’ll walk in fields of gold

Oh oh oh
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Oh oh oh

"Love Rescue Me" by U2. It shouldn't because technically, it no longer applies to me, but if I hear it at the wrong/right moment...

I have a couple

More like a few, probably!  But the two that come to mind are "Bad" by U2 for so many reasons.  And "She" by Elvis Costello.  Some might know that song from the movie Notting Hill.  It's playing at the end...  

She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she

Quirky, these lyrics are ones that make me cry.........
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof

Quirky..

It's cheesy and basically a child's song. Tom T. Hall is the artist. I used to listen to it when I was 5 and since then always wishing it was my father singing it to me.

I Care

When the TV won't work and your toys fall apart
And you have a sad feeling deep in your heart
You wanna go out but it's rainin' out there, I want you to know I care
I care, I do, there's no one like you
When they take you someplace and you sit in a chair, I want you to know I care
When you tell a big lie and your parents're mean
When being grownup is a faraway dream
When you're fillin' your teeth and cuttin' your hair, I want you to know I care
I care, I do, there's no one like you
I mention your name when I'm sayin' my prayers, I want you to know I care
When you have a bad cough and you can't go out
When you sit for a week with that thing in your mouth
When you sleep in the dark and there's something out there, I want you to know I care
I care, I do, there's no one like you and sometimes I act like a grouchy old bear
I want you to know I care, I love you too much

Alf,
So if you're with them and NOT drinking, then you don't cry?

Quirky...
There are no songs that make me cry....except maybe for "Danny Boy", if I'm with my Dad and brother and we've all been drinking.  I am more of a movie cryer.
