What Are Your Favourite weepies

They don't have to be sad, they are just the songs that bring a lump to the eye and a tear to the throat, they invoke moments sometimes treasured sometimes perhaps lost love, Aaaah!

Here are a couple of mine inspired by listening to The Who and their great Album Tommy.

Christmas (from the above album),

Quote:

Did you ever see the faces
Of the children, they get so excited.
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited.
They believe in dreams and all they mean,

'Cos of the memories of krimbo when mine where that sort of age. (Though I must confess the rest of that track is a tear jerker for completley different reasons).

Honey Bobby Goldsboro

Just because.....

By the way if you're wondering, what's this change that's come over Less, I bought 10 hankies for £3.00 today and I'm going to get my monies worth!

So go on, get out that box of tissues and think about your sentimental little weepie.

Callas singing J'ai Perdu Mon Eurydice, always brings a tear to my eye.

Don't -Elvis Presley

This does it for me. I'm right back 47 years ago and there's been the chucking of a ring at a young airman, a week of the worst heartache and then the phone rings and when I answer it this is playing on the other end. I still cry when I hear it - I'm sniffling now.

P.S. I took the ring back - and I married him.
