Songs that make you cry..........

I'm interested in knowing what songs, specifically, make us cry, and why. I'm directing this mainly to the men here, but the women can chime in as well 
For me, it's 3 songs, predominantly:
Father and Son, by Cat Stevens
It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want, you can marry Look at me, I am old But I'm happy
I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot I think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain When I do he turns away again And it's always been the same Same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know That I have to go away I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change Just sit down and take it slowly You're still young that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want, you can marry Look at me, I am old But I'm happy
All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside And it's hard, but it's harder To ignore it If they were right I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way and I know That i have to go away I know I have to go
I was adopted, a child of divorce, then lost 2 step-fathers to cancer. Now I'm a father. I don't think I need say more.
Can't get it outta my head, by ELO
This song was playing after I hadn't seen my wife and child for 6 months while I was overseas. Some girl was listening to it, crying, I might add. I'd always loved the song.
The Long and Winding Road, by the Beatles
Again. A woman! damned if you do and damned if you don't! 
Every time I listen to the Cat Stevens song I sob like a two year old. The song means a lot to me.

Black Muddy River -every time I hear it I think about Jerry's last show and how it was his last song. And if only I knew it would be the last time I would ever hear him sing it.

Isn't quite as it seems?

Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?

"Looks Like Rain"
a beautiful, touching song to begin with, with way too much personal connection (anyone who was around last winter probably heard more about this than they deserved or wanted.... sorry bout that....)

ya, right after jerry died, a few local radio stations were airing some fine dead tunes... "black muddy river" came on & the (ex- now) wife & i both had wet cheeks; almost hard to drive the car when it's raining inside...

On your own - Verve
Tell me what you see Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seemed so obscene until it's over Who knows?
All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know?
You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own
Tell me if it's true That I need you, you are changing I've seen this road before down on the floor It is hurting me
All I want is someone who can fill the hole in the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you want to know?
You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own
Lies I've got to get rid of this hole inside
--------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes
I'll know, I know
Just take my clothes and leave
And I'll be gone

Grateful Dead - Uncle John's Band

Well here it is...the only song that ever made me cry...
Wrote A Song For Everyone Lyrics: (J.C. Fogerty)
Met myself a comin' county welfare line. I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin', down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.
CHORUS: Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you.
Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up, Communication failed. If you see the answer, now's the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.
CHORUS
CHORUS
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains. Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?
CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
