Name a really good old song that makes girls cry??

Question

I love good old songs that are really tragic and sad. I really like hearing them with my girlfriend, cause she cries like a baby when she hears them. Some songs make her bawl EVERY time, like the RIghteous Brothers "Unchained Melody", and she gets so sad and hugs me as she cries. I heard another song today just like this, it's called "Time" by Alan Parsons Project. What a tear jerker!! Haha. Name some others, post the lyrics, 10 points for the best, saddest love song :)

Answer 1

The song "Shannon" by Henry Gross from back in the 70's always got me (and still gets me) It's about the death of a pet dog.

Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard

Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her

Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....

Well..I've got a great one for you!! It's called "Billy and Sue" and it's by BJ Thomas. You should download it...it is so sad!!

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT BILLY AND SUE
THEY WERE AS IN LOVE AS WERE ANY TWO
AND YET BILLY HAD TO DIE
AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE REASON WHY
YOU'LL HANG YOUR HEAD AND CRY

BILLY AND SUE MET THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
AND EVER SINCED LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE
BEACAUSE THEY'LL DO UNTO OTHERS
WHAT YOU WOULD'NT WANT DONE TO YOU
YOU'D HAVE TO BE A FOOL

THIS MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF LOVE AND TRUST
THEY WOULD TRAVEL THE ROAD
TO MARRIAGE OR BUST
AND WHEN BILLY WAS OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE A WIFE
HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY
AND HIS WAY OF LIFE

SUES LETTERS CAME EVERY DAY
STRENGHTENED HIS CAUSE THEY SHOWED HIM THE WAY
TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE GIRL HE LOVED
THATS A SOILDERS ONLY PAY

BUT THEN BILLY HEARD NO MORE FROM SUE
HE WAS WORRIED SICK BUT WHAT COULD HE DO
THE BULLETS WERE SCREAMING AS HE HUGGED THE GROUND
AND BACK HOME SUE WAS RUNNIN ROUND

BILLY WAS GETTIN LESS AND LESS STRONG
HIS HOPE HIS FATE WAS ALMOST GONE
AND THEN LIKE A MIRACLE THE LETTER APPEARED
BILLY TORE THE LETTER OPEN AND HE READ DEAR JOHN

A LOOK CAME OVER BILLY THAT WOULD SCARE A GHOST
FAMILIAR LOOK SEEN ON SOLDIERS COAST TO COAST
AND EVEN THOUGH THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH LEAD
BILLY JUMPED UP THEY SHOT HIM DEAD

BILLY WAS BURIED IN A FAR AWAY GRAVE
IT READ FOR HIS COUNTRY HIS LIFE HE GAVE
BUT THAT EPITAPH WAS ONLY A PART
HE DIDNT DIE FROM A BULLET BUT HE DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART

Answer 3

Always found these two songs sad...

by the Shangri La's
Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is. Let's ask her.
Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
Mm-hmm
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Uh-uh
By the way, where'd you meet him?

I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town
(whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

One day my dad said, "Find someone new"
I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
(whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

[spoken]
He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone

& Last Kiss by Wayne Cochran known best by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers (it was about some teens killed in a car accident a week before Christmas in 62)

Oh where, oh where can my baby be,
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date, in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far,
There in the road, straight up ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass,
The painful scream that I heard last...

Chorus

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down,
There were people standin' all around.
Something warm going through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.

I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darlin' just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.

Well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.
