My husband died suddenly at age 50. I was in shock and couldn't make any arrangements. Luckily, I have wonderful family and friends. At the funeral the choir consisted of church members and while they tried...it really wasn't a comfort. However, a dear friend of my husband and myself ( who actually was a groomsman in our wedding ) was a vocalist and musician. He didn't tell anyone about his plan but during one part of the service, I heard the sweetest guitar music playing. Then he started singing, " Time in a Bottle". I turned and looked up to the choir loft and burst into tears and then nodded my head. His voice and the words moved me beyond the physical space I occupied. I loved my husband with all of my heart and every time I hear the song, I cry, even though it's been 16 years.
"One More Day" by Diamond Rio causes tears as does " Mama" by Il Divo.
Music moves me and has always been important in my life. My soul dances and cries with it.
I was real ill and in bed and finally turned the tv on and this came on...this exact concert and song in the video. I sat on the edge of the bed just completely mesmerized and didn't even realize tears were streaming down my face. I was really moved. Then I found out what it was about "Time to Say Goodbye" which only added to the emotion of it.

well, this brought a tear to my eye.. Thank you for sharing
These Are the Days - When Freddie says "I love you" for the last time, it's an instant tearjerker. In fact most of Queen's Innuendo album was a tearjerker, listen to Bijou too, it's one of the most underrated songs of all time

I agree with a couple of yours, though I haven't heard them all. We might have similar taste in music. Here are some of mine.
From the list above:
Hey There Delilah
How to Save a Life
Others, and I'll add more as I think of them, I'm sure.
Nights in White Satin, Moody Blues
Black, Pearl Jam ( Especially live at Pink Pop on You Tube )
Although it doesn't reduce me to a snivelling wreck, I cannot hear La Marseillaise, especially if I'm in France, surrounded by a bunch of like minded patriots, without feeling my bottom lip tremble, and my eyes blur so that I have to blink rapidly just to see.
On a more personal level, when I split from my first wife, a million years ago it seems, we were discussing a plan of action and she mentioned that Harry Nilsson's 'Without You' summed up her feelings when I told her that I'd been struck by "un coup de foudre", and was leaving her.
Being a cold hearted selfish bastard, I let that slip to the back of my mind, but when eight years later, the 'love of my life' decided that the feeling was no longer mutual, and told me that she was moving on, suddenly the Nilsson song became very, very apt.
