The last song at my Mum's funeral.

Oh Lord. Honey! This used to make my cry my eyes out until I saw Freddie’s Starr take the pee out if it.

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson

[rockyracoon]

The saddest for me is probably Coming Around Again by Carly Simon

[237SJ]

Father and Son is also a bit of a weepy for me, whether Cat Stevens or Westzone
