Creed - Arms wide open.
I always loved the song and found that my boyfriend did when we starting seeing each other. When we found out we were expecting our son it just had all the more meaning in it.

'Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is gonna change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life'

what about u posy jo?

[raysparx]

Hi posy,

we meet again, one song that affects me is "Tell me it's not true" the finale to the musical Blood Brothers, because the the thought of what happens in it makes me go cold,

Music that affects me is "the intermezzo" from an opera called Cavaliera Rusticana, when I went to see this opera I cried, and I am a 6ft building worker weighing 16 stone, it gets me inside,it is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard, Ray xxx

[~posy-jo~]

aaww redcrx i've never heard that song but just reading it has made me go all goosepimply!! i'm gonna have to find it and listen to it!!

sam there is few songs that get me
inside your heaven is one

I've been down
Now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation coming around
I guess its right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you I'm alive
You're all I've got
You lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When we touch, when we love
The stars light up
The wrong becomes undone
Naturally, my soul surrenders
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes

And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven

When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holdin you until the day I die
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away

I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows you away
I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in
A soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
Oh yes I do
I wanna be inside your heaven

Richard Marx - Right here waiting!
makes me cry every time!

A girl got killed on the main road near my house coming home from school one day when i was about seven, and this song was on the radio a lot at the time!

There is another song, cant think of the name, but whenever i hear it (not often as its an old song) it triggers some subconcious memory and I start to well up too! God knows why!!

[redcrx]

Posy, i love the lyrics to your choice. They are really moving.
The creed song is quite an oldie now i think but will always be special to me.
another song that moved me to tears every time i heard it is the one about the soldier in ireland. Not sure if i could find the lyrics tho, will go look. Wouldnt want to upset anyone by posting them though so may come back with a link and a warning

[redcrx]

End of the Road - Boyz 2 Men...

(Dead cert to make you cry!)

(spoken)
Girl you know we belong together
I have no time for you to be playing
With my heart like this
You�ll be mine forever baby, you just see

(verse)
We belong together
And you that I�m right
Why do you play with my head,
Hy do you play with my mind?

Said we�d be forever
Said it�d never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say good-bye?

Girl I can�t sleep at night without holding you tight
Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry
Pain in my head oh I�d rather be dead
Spinnin� around and around


Chorus:
Although we�ve come to the end of the road
Still I can�t let you go
It�s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you
Come to the end of the road
Still I can�t let you go
It�s unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you


Girl, I know you really love me,
You just don�t realize
You�ve never been there before
It�s only your first time

Maybe I�ll forgive you, hmm
Maybe you�ll try
We should be happy together
Forever, you and i

Girl, you love me again like you loved me before
This time I want you to love me much more
This time instead just come to my bed
And baby just don�t let me, don�t let me down

Chorus

(spoken)
Girl I�m here for you
All those times of night when you just hurt me
And just run out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it, I just didn�t care
You just don�t understand how much I love you do you?
I�m here for you

I�m not out to go out and cheat on you all night
Just like you did baby but that�s all right
Hey, I love you

[redcrx]

Judy Tzuke - Stay With Me Till Dawn

It just sums an experience I had perfectly. Now, whenever I hear it, I just have to stop whatever i'm doing and close my eyes. Good, but heartfelt memories.

[nat_84]

stylinsam... i know! Its definitely a tearjerker!!

U hit the nail on the head with Luther Vandross too!!

[stylinsam]

just read these lyrics!
dance with my father!

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then


Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I�d play a song that would never, ever end
How I�d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Ooh, ooh


When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He�d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said


Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I�d play a song that would never, ever end
�Cause I�d love, love, love to dance with my father
again


Sometimes I�d listen outside her door
And I�d hear her, mama cryin� for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I�m prayin� for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don�t do it usually
But Lord, she�s dyin� to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
