What are the love songs that make you cry like a baby?

[Bossy Monkey]

Mine? Drunk and in Love by Too Much Joy, which can be found free (and legal) here (if you're willing to put up with Real player or are shrewd enough to have found another player that plays rm files): http://www.sayhername.com/tmj_geac.php (towards the bottom) and Valentine's Day by Steve Earle, the lyrics to which can be found here: http://steveearle.net/lyrics/ly-ifeel.php#ValentinesDay (just imagine Steve, an acoustic guitar, and eventually a string quartet and the Fairfield Four providing gospel hamonies).

And you?

[Phillycat]

1. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

A combination of the beauty of the song and the knowledge that he left us too soon. :cry:

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Wow! Amazing!

Leading of course to the musical question, what was that song doing in "Shrek"? I'm sure even Cohen and Cale were bewildered.

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. I get goosebumps everytime I hear that song

4. "True Companion" - Marc Cohn

True Companion Lyrics

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
And sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you allright
And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

5. A couple that make me squall...both for different reasons....

Two Out of Three Ain't Bad ~ Meatloaf

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But -- there ain't no way Im ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a cracker jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something
Something that I just haven't got

Theres only one guy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get him out of my heart
He never loved me back
Ooh I know

I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned right away

And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me

I want you
I need you
But there aint no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way Im ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad
Don't be sad
'cause two out of three ain't bad

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere



Seven Spanish Angels ~ Ray Charles and Willie Nelson

He looked down into her brown eyes, and said
"Say a prayer for me". She
Threw her arms around him, whispered
"God will keep us free".
They could hear the riders comin', He said
"This is my last fight...

If they
Take me back to Texas, they won't
Take me back a-live.

There were seven Spanish angels, at the
Altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
Valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
There was thunder from the throne,
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
Angel home.

She reached down and picked the gun up,
That lay smokin in his hand.
She said, "Father please forgive me;
I can't make it without my man."
And she knew the gun was empty,
And she knew she couldn't win,
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again.

There were seven Spanish angels, at the
Altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
Valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
There was thunder from the throne,
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
Angel home.

[Left Is Write]

6. The only pop song that I can think of that actually makes me cry...

is "100 Years" by Five For Fighting, and I don't care if anyone makes fun of me over that.

"If I Needed You" by Don Williams and Emmylou Harris makes me misty.

7. I always cry when I hear this one:

K.D. LANG Lyrics

Love Is Everything Lyrics


(Jane Siberry)

Maybe it was to learn how to love
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Maybe it was for the games we played
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Maybe it was for the love we made

Love is everything they said it would be
Love made sweet and sad the same
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make
The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride
Maybe it was the cowboys' ways
Maybe it was to learn not to lie
Maybe it was to learn how to cry
Maybe it was for the love we made

Love is everything they said it would be
Love did not hold back the reins
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make
The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

First he turns to you
Then he turns to her
So you try to hurt him back
But it breaks your body down
So you try to love bigger
Bigger still
But it...it's too late

So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
I gave my love didn't I?
And I gave it big...sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time
I'm just leaving

Love is everything...

12. Eminen - Puke

It's so romantic :loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Eminem - Puke Lyrics


There I go--thinking of you again


You don't know how sick you make me
You make me fuckin' sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you, I puke
You must just not know--whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
You may not think you do, but you do
Every time I think of you, I puke

I was gonna take the time to sit down
And write you a little poem
But from of the dome would probably be a little more,
More suitable for this type of song--whoa
I got a million reasons off the top of my head that I could
think of
Sixteen bars,
This ain't enough to put some ink ta
So fuck it,
I'ma start right here by just be brief-a
'Bout to rattle off some other reasons
I knew I shouldn't go and get another tattoo of you
On my arm, but what do I go and do?
I go and get another one, now I got two
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm sittin' here with your name on my skin
I can't believe I went and did this stupid shit again
My next girlfriend, now her name's gotta be Kim
Shi-ii-ii-ii-ii-ii-it
If you only knew how much I hated you
For every motherfuckin' thing you ever put us through
Then I wouldn't be standing here crying over you
Boo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-who


You don't know how sick you make me
You make me fuckin' sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you, I puke
You must just not know--whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
You may not think you do, but you do
Every time I think of you, I puke

I was gonna take the time to sit down and write you a little
letter
But I thought a song would probably be a little better
Instead of a letter
That you'd probably just shred up--yeah
I stumbled on your picture yesterday and it made me stop and
think of
How much of a waste it'd be for me to put some ink ta, a stupid
piece a
Paper, I'd rather let you see how
Much I fuckin' hate you in a freestyle
You're a fuckin' coke-head, I hope you fuckin' die
I hope you get to hell and Satan sticks a needle in your eye
I hate your fuckin' guts, you fuckin' slut, I hope you die
Di-ii-ii-ii-ii-ii-ie
But please don't get me wrong, I'm not bitter or mad
It's not that I still love you, it's not 'cause I want you back

It's just that when I think of you, it makes me wanna
gag-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ag
What else can I do, I haven't got a clue
Now I guess I'll just move on, I have no choice but to
But every time I think of you now, I'll I wanna do
Is pu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uu-uke


You don't know how sick you make me
You make me fuckin' sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you, I puke
You must just not know--whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
You may not think you do, but you do
Every time I think of you, I puke



Fuckin' bitch
