Songs that make your cry:

This one makes me:

Kylie's "Turn Into Love"




1a:]
Do you believe I'd let you down
Your jealous heart gave you the runaround
You couldn't see
That I would always be your friend

[1b:]
If you can look inside your heart
And understand what's tearing you apart
You gotta trust someone
Don't let hate get in the way

[CHORUS:]
Just turn it into love
Turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll
Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love

[2:]
When all your other friends are gone
I'll still be here to help you carry on
If you have faith in me
Then I'll believe in you
You are the first thing on my mind
Do you believe I wouldn't have the time
I have to make you see
You can't push the pain on me

[CHORUS:]

[x4:] Just turn it into love

[1b:]

[CHORUS:]
[repeat & fade]

Taking Over Me

You don't remember me, but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream, and dream I do

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know, and all we had
You saw me mourning my love for you, and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are
Just like you are taking over

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I believe in you
(I believe in you)
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me (taking over me)
You're taking over me (taking over me)
You're taking over me

Kathy Mattea Lyrics

Where Have You Been? Lyrics


Claire had all but given up
When she and Edwin fell in love
She touched his face and shook her head
In disbelief she sighed and said
In many dreams I've held you near
Now at last you're really here

Chorus
Where have you been?
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

He asked her for her hand for life
Then she became a salesman's wife
He was home each night by 8
But one stormy evening he was late
Her frightened tears fell to the floor
Until his key turned in the door

Chorus
Where have you been?
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

They'd never spent a night apart
For 60 yrs she heard him snore
Now they're in a hospital
In seperate beds on different floors

Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names of family
She never spoke a word again
Then one day they wheeled him in
He held her hand and stroked her hair
In a fragile voice she said

Chorus
Where have you been?
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

No, I'm just not myself when you're away

Jonathan Lyrics
-lisa coleman/wendy melvoin

i think we were five when we met
we were so alive then and yet
we would not survive
now i know
yours was not a face to grow old

oh oh no my old soul
you left me much too soon
how i love you
oh i

i was so surprised when you left
i was like a child how i wept
but i guess it's ok now
go to sleep
and i will pray the lord your soul to keep

oh oh no my old soul
you left me much too soon
much much too soon
how i love you
oh i

somewhere down the road i will be walking
and everything i know will be following
maybe then i'll see you
and i will tell you
you always were an angel to me

(this song makes me cry because i lost a cousin a few years back..we firt met when we were five...he had a baby boy when he passed..so the song has double meaning for me...and i cry.)

Jaded Fool
A fool’s job is to please the King
With his coxcomb on he sings
A funny man who sees you
His eyes look through you know
I have to speak the words
That tell what nuncle Lear fears to hear
I am left with a burden
A can’t hold my peace

Can’t you all see that I’m not the fool?
I’d love to explain it but
Lady Branch has a hold
Old fools reject the truth
Blinded by their hopes
My real job is to un-mask
I’m a jaded fool

Leave his horns without a case
Pride to hide the loss of face
Naïve in his old age
Words calm his fickle ways
Without all the words of love
Failed to see his true one
I could see coming
Madness with a furry

“Come here fool, I could use a joke or two”
I’d like to help my King but he can only see the lies
Old fools reject the truth, blinded by their hopes
My real job is to un-mask
I’m a jaded fool, listen
I’m a jaded fool

Co-written with L.J. 2 Heart's "Magic Man"


8 senses
my rocket has no launch button
we use gliders 2 have some fun
why stop here when there’s more 2 share
in this subliminal transfusion

i’ve got 8 senses
2 drive me insane
message is in the vanity plate
backseat rider with cassette tapes

will u lend me an hour
2 show u how i don’t care
cuz this is something 4 much longer
u’ll know the gist by the end of the yr

i’ve got 8 senses
2 drive me insane
message is in the vanity plate
backseat rider with cassette tapes

2nd game planner
original destroyer
periodic composer
will u lend me an hour

There are a few that come to mind:

"Sacred Heart" from Shakespear's Sister

"Who Wants to Live Forever" from Queen

Pet Shop Boys' "Being Boring," and "Only the Wind"

and "Somebody Loves You Baby," " Burnin'," and "I Hear Your Voice" from Patti LaBelle

(They are all either about losing people or being hurt by them.)

Everybody Hurts- REM

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

"Stuck In A Moment"

by U2

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

I don't think I've ever cried from hearing a Prince song. Not sure what that means, but there it is.

Evanescence -- "My Immortal"

Seriously, listen to this after losing someone you loved and tell me you didn't cry. Her voice sounds like she's crying. She kinda sounds like that in every song, but still.

Let Down

Ain't had a job in about a year
Living down in my parents basement
I wish that I could get outta here
Sometimes I think I need a vacation

Can't get my mother off my back
She don't have far to go to drive me crazy
Someday that bitch is gonna make me crack
Might be the last time she calls me lazy

YOU'RE A LET DOWN
PARDON ME IF I'M A LET DOWN
TO MY FAMILY
I'M A LET DOWN
1-2-3 I'M A LET DOWN
(are you like me?)

And now my sister's got a fancy car
I got a piece of shit from 1980
But at least I got my two guitars
And a one-way ticket to nowhere, Baby!

I'M A LET DOWN
PARDON ME IF I'M A LET DOWN
TO MY FAMILY
I'M A LET DOWN
1-2-3 I'M A LET DOWN
(are you like me?)
(are you like me?)
(are you like me?)

Oh, no! no! Now, I've got a dream
they don't understand. It won't be long
I'm not what I seem. See, I've got
a plan (that's right!)

Sometimes they act like I don't exist
Or else, they treat me like I'm still eleven
Heaven knows I can't take more of this
They never thought that I'd be 27
AND A LET-DOWN!
PARDON ME IF I'M A LET DOWN
TO MY FAMILY
I'M A LET DOWN
1-2-3 I'M A LET DOWN
(are you like me?)
(are you like me?)
(are you like me?)

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
Sung by Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine

The first time ever I saw your face
your face -- your face -- your face

This song used to make me so happy I would cry, now it makes me so sad I cry beacuse it makes me think of a certain person who has deleted me from his life.....
sad

Totally! Especially the acoustic version.

Other U2 songs that really get me are 'Kite', 'So Cruel', 'Bad', 'Red Hill Mining Town', and 'If God Will Send His Angels'. There's something about the combo of Bono's voice and Edge's guitar that can really set me off.

'Nightswimming' and 'Sweetness Follows' by REM also can get me going if I'm in the right mood, as can 'Don't Give Up' by Peter Gabriel, and 'Being Boring' by the Pet Shop Boys.
I'm the first mammal to wear pants.
