What songs make you cry?

Fess up, all you macho dudes & dudettes. Certain songs and music can turn on your waterworks. Here's some that seldom fail to make me mist-up...

-The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Peter, Paul & Mary)
-Sounds of Silence (S&G, non-rock version)
-Born to the Breed (Judy Collins)
-Reason to Believe (Tim Hardin)
-Sparrow (Simon & Garfunkle again)
Not a song, but what the heck: the "Yes, Virginia" editorial about Santa Claus

The saddest ever written is Alone again, naturally(1969). Two other's make me weep because they are sooooo bad: Blinded by the Light and Pinball Wizard(Or some bullshit like that).

The 1954 Furtwangeler conducting of Beethoven's 9th (and sometimes other versions of Ode to Joy).

The soundtrack to Braveheart (I know, I should be committed).

Pachelbel's Canon in D.

The Highway Man by Loreena McKennitt.

American Pie (memories, of course).

On the other hand I never cry. Not me!
