Sting - If I Ever Lose My Faith in You.  My exboyfriend bought me this CD, and right after we broke up this song came on while I was grocery shopping, and for some reason it just got to me.  I'm usually pretty strong about that stuff, especially since it wasa good breakup.

Also, one that's kind of cheesy, my friend used to be a Slaughter fan, and after their guitarist died, she got me crying about Fly to the Angels.

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

My wife and I lost a child at the 6 month mark during her pregnancy.  The baby had too many  health problems and died in the womb.  This song was the hit song at the time, and I now associate this song with her and wonder what she would have been like.

Fortunately, we have 4 other healthy children that we have been blessed with.

WFTR,

I'll have to check out that song, it sounds very powerful.

srednas,

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your child.  That Butterfly Kisses song is one that always brings a tear to my eye, and I don't even have kids. 

I have to mention the Butterfly Kisses song as well.  I didn;t think much of the song when it was a hit, but we had boy/girl twins 15 months ago.  A few months later, we went to the wedding of our good friend, and they played that song.  My wife and I were both in tears, picturing me/us doing all the things in the song with our daughter.

Another song is Friends by Michael W Smith.  As I've mentioned in other threads, our niece was killed in a car accident this February on her 18th birthday.  At her funeral service, they played that song.  I doubt I'll be able to listen to it the same ever again.

Another powerful song is The Meeting by Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe.  They used to be part of Yes, and they put out an album int he late80s/early 90s.  The Meeting is such a wonderful song.

Must chime in for "Butterfly Kisses" as well.  My two girls REVEL in me choking back tears when we are at a Daddy/Daugter dance and they play that song.

Don't evenget me started on the "Think of the future......" stuff!

Riggs-

that song is beautiful.  I'm almost gonna cry.  I hope someday to find a guy who treats me like that.

Well good, I'm glad I'm not alone.

I usually feel like a big wuss for getting emotional about that song.  But it's such a touching story of love. 

The lines that really get to me are in the second verse where he tells the mugger to take his watch that his grandfather gave hime, and in the third verse when he falls to his knees and prays.

Like I said, just a really vivid story painted.  And nicely turned around from the start, which is really how most boys feel at age 7!!!!  Ick!  Girls!

Alabama's "Roll On (18 Wheeler)"

My Dad was a truck driver for 30+ years, In 1987 he was driving for a company that picked up milk from dairy farms. It was one of those things just because there is a blizzard doesn't mean the cows stop producing milk. He headed out on a rarely traveled country road, lost control of his truck and rolled it. He spent a full day and night inside of his turned over truck in below 0 weather with no heat. he was found by snowmobilers the next day. He survived but it was the worst feeling in the world to have someone missing like that.

The song talks about a jacknifed rigg in a snowstorm. with the father missing.
