"I never heard a sad song that I didn't like."--Murder City Devils "That's What You Get"
This is a compilation of songs that make me want to cry when I hear them. Some of them have sad lyrics, and other ones make my eyes get misty before the lyrics even start. Some of them don't sound sad at all, but they make me get all sentimental because they remind me of better times, or of particular people. This isn't an exhaustive list of every sad song I have, but I did list some of my favorites. Also, there are a few music videos at the end...
