Tim McGraw - "Live Like You Were Dying", it really makes me think everytime I hear it.

I love that song...

Leiber & Stoller's "Neighborhood" when Vonda Shepard sang it on "Ally McBeal" when Billy died. I had to teach that song to 3 different groups of kids (for "Smokey Joe's Cafe") and I always showed them that video. Everyone always cried like babies. YouTube took it off...oh, well...here's another version

Beep, beep, beep...Billy died? Man it has been a long time. I think his career died too.

Thank you! I hate that song. Can't listen to it. Nope...can't do it.

The saddest episode of anything I've ever seen! (And, in some ways, the silliest...)

Tile :Lee Ann Womack - 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 by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me 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
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling 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
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me 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
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

This always gets to me; it says so perfectly what I want for my son.

and Amazing Grace because it was the last song at every funeral/memorial service for everyone I've loved who has died.

Yep, this one works for me too, reminds me of my grandparents.

I had to hurry and post because I couldn't stand to listen to it.

Country songs do it to me everytime.

Martina McBride's Concrete Angel is one. I also love "Love's the Only House." It might be my favorite Martina song ... so powerful.

I am a sucker for Rascal Flatts' "My Wish."

And so many others that have already been mentioned. I Hope You Dance is a favorite of mine, and of Mr. TFT's in particular.

SWGB -- great thread. I know it wasn't your intention, but I bet from now on every time I hear Let it Be, I'll think of your mom.

FL Dawg, I would think that "Glory, glory to old Georgia" is about to become a tear-jerker...
