Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. Can't explain it -- I haven't cried when I hear it in the film, but from the first time I saw Mary Poppins in London, I've teared up every single time.

"Around the World" from Grey Gardens is the biggest tear jerker I've ever listened to. When I personally perform it I cry. (The last line-the one in my signature-gets me going.)

"Another Winter in a Summer Town" from Grey Gardens usually turns on the waterworks, too, as does "Will You?".

As for other shows-"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" does for sentimental reasons, as does "I'm Not That Girl" and "On My Own".

I have some non-broadway songs also.
The gospel singer Sandi Patti's song "In Heavens Eyes" makes me come to tears most times that I hear it. "In Heavens Eyes there are no losers."

But Janis Ian's rumination of outcast girls (and even boys) of the high school world of the 50's and 60's also does it:

It was long ago and far away
the world was younger than today
when dreams were all they gave for free
to ugly duckling girls like me

Sniff sniff.

As soon as George Hearn and Mandy Patinkin sing "Goddamnest hours that I ever spent were waiting for the Girls Upstairs," on the Follies in Concert CD, I'm in tears. Barbara Cook singing In Buddy's Eyes always makes me cry, too.

"Finishing the Hat" AND "We Do Not Belong Together"
-- SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE

The scenes in Act I where George is trying to justify the way he treats others have always been the most emotionally devastating to me; I have always been overly detached from the world around me, and it hits personally, y'know?

"Jerry Likes My Corn" AND "Another Winter in a Summer Town"
-- GREY GARDENS

"Jerry" always struck me as the final sign of a woman ("Big" Edie) who is looking for any scrap of affection she can get, even in someone like Jerry.

"Another Winter" is the climax of the show, and therefore (because it's well-written) the most devestating. I thought when I first heard the song that Edie going back was a very sad ending - basically giving up after trying so hard to leave.

I understand now, though, what the song is really about - but it's still a bit sad to me.

"Children Will Listen"
-- INTO THE WOODS

An absolutely beautiful song.

"The Fall of Saigon"
-- MISS SAIGON

Just for the part where the crowd starts shouting their individual pleas to get on the transport.

"You're Gonna Love Tommorrow/Love Will See Us Through"
-- FOLLIES

For the part where the two songs blend.

"Goodbye Love"
-- RENT

Again, beautiful (in this case, beautifully tragic) music.

"Take a Look Lee"
-- ASSASSINS (Broadway Revival)

The section from when the voices of the assassins start to blend together in goading Lee on, to where Lee shoots, to where the presidential march blares out of the silence... one of the most horrifying moments I've heard so far in musical theater.
