"Without You" and I will have to agree with Mistoffeles on "Your Eyes"

"I Know the Truth" from Aida
"Il Adore" and "Petrified" and most of Act 2 from Taboo
"I'll Cover You: Reprise" from RENT (when sung right)
"In L.A" from Fame
"Come to Me" from Les Miz
"Sacred Bird" from Miss Saigon
"Fine-Fine Line" from Avenue Q
"Raven" from Brooklyn
"There are Worse Things I Could Do" from Grease
"Origin of Love" and Tommy's "Wicked Little Town" from Hedwig
"Somewhere That's Green: Reprise" from Little Shop
"I'm Going Home" from Rocky Horror (Tim Curry only, please. Sorry Tom Hewitt, but you didn't sound near as good at Tim in that song)


All of those songs have made me cry (or at the very least tear up) on more than one occasion. I remember bawling in the theatre when I saw Marcus Paul James sing 'I'll Cover You: Reprise' in Cincinatti earlier this year.

What Kind of Fool Am I? from Stop the World, I Want to Get Off
This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific
POTO finale
Being Alive from Company
Send in the Clowns, of course

I'm very surprised that no one mentioned "I'll Forget You" from The Scarlet Pimpernel. That song--sung by the wonderful Linda Eder, of course--is a KNIFE in my HEART every single time I hear it.

I'm also voting for "Endless Night" from The Lion King, but maybe I just miss Jason.

For all of the songs already listed that I'm very familiar with I totally agree. However, I'm very surprsed that out of 113 posts I am going to be the first one to post these songs.

To The Lifeboats, We'll Meet Tomorrow and Still From Titanic

and

I Can Hear Music from Leader of the Pack

The Titanic songs make me tear up every damn time, with Leader of the Pack, I think it has more to do with the staging of that song when I saw it, although the song is fairly sad.

Agree with "Still" from Titanic...actually cried in the theater...more than I can say for the movie.

Will add "Il Adore" from Taboo. Didnt like the video montage staging tho. Too much.

Liz McCartney also breaks my heart in "Talk Amongst Yourselves"

Funny...."One Day More" gets the exact opposite visceral reaction from me than sad.

When Cathy says in L5Y, "I swear to God I'll never understand, how you can stand there straight and tall, and see I'm smiling, and not do anything at all".

Who Will Love Me As I Am...no question about it

In addition to the TITANIC songs mentioned above....I also have to add the finale/reprise of "Godspeed Titanic". The ending scene where the survivors are in front of the screen, and then it rises to show all of the passengers who perished in their same positions from the opening sequence...gave me chills...and to top it off the survivors join them for the rousing finale. I have to admit that I lost it there!

the way Brian D'arcy James sing the song: What is it about her in the Wild Party, always makes me cry a little.

[Enjolras77]

Posted: 6/16/05 at 5:14pm

After mentioning this song on "the Best" list, I realized that it should also be on "the Saddest" list.

"Ol' Man River" from Showboat. The song is powerful, and when you put yourself in the characters shoes---definitely VERY moving!
