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

Congratulations to all for your candor and sensistivity or just plain weirdness (Alice Cooper??).

A couple more... Cat Steven's "I Need To Know You"
Nat King Cole's "Morning Star"
...Videowise, can't watch Chaplin at the end of "City Lights" without major eye-juice...

Craig-- Yeah, Roberta Flack's version of "First Time Ever" is good, but as mentioned in first post I really like the gentler version of Mary Travers, and the ambiguity she wraps the ending in... she thought it would last 'til the end of time (it didn't, did it?).

I sense a bit of denial in the jokier responses... if you're not getting emotionally involved with the music, maybe you're just a hardware junkie, hmmmm??
