Songs That Make You Cry

I'm working on this assignment for my Psychology class and I need your help.

The assignment is to survey at least 20 people and ask them if they've ever cried or gotten emotional while singing or listening to a song.

For example, some of my tearjerk songs that ALWAYS get me crying thug nigga tears, are:

Dance With My Father Again (Luther Vandross)

Halo -- (Beyonce, acoustic version)

Hallelujah -- (Gin Wigmore, best version)

Hallelujah -- (the Leonard Cohen version performed by Alexandria Burke on X-Factor)

I Miss You -- (Aaliyah, the tribute video version)

Hey Mama -- (Kanye West performed this in front of his mother on Oprah one year)

Cosmic Love -- (Florence + The Machine)

The Power of Love -- (Celine Dion)

1 + 1 -- (Beyonce)

Do you have any "Tearjerk" songs?
