Still Hurting - The Last 5 Years
No One Has Ever Loved Me - Passsion
Many of the above (i've gotten much weepier as I age), but especially that damn "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" as the von Trapps start up the Alps.
And, no, I'm not proud of it.
All of Ragtime. Morning Glow from Pippin (with the 2013 arrangement). More. I don't know, I'm a mess.
"Back to Before" from RAGTIME
"Epilogue" from LES MISERABLES
"The Flesh Failures/Let the Sun Shine In" from HAIR
"Three-Five-Zero-Zero" from HAIR
"Light" from NEXT TO NORMAL
"Finale" from IN THE HEIGHTS
"The Letter" from BILLY ELLIOT
"No One Has Ever Loved Me" from PASSION
And of course, there are a few non-musical theatre songs that choke me up; The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell, America & Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel, Anticipation by Carly Simon, and Back in the High Life by Steve Winwood.

I think this peaks volumes about my emotional stability...
I've only had the cast recording for a week, but "It All Fades Away" from BRIDGES pretty much had me in a flood of tears on the way to the grocery store today.
If I'm feeling emotional already these are the songs that are likely to choke me up:
Before its over - Dogfight
Sh'ma/Finale - Parade
Make them hear you - Ragtime
Fantine's Arrest - Les Mis
Still Hurting - Last Five years
-Always Better, You're Never Alone (happy tears), Falling into You- The Bridges of Madison County
-Sunday, Children and Art, Move On, Sunday - Sunday In the Park With George
-Fight the Dragons, I Don't Need A Roof, How It Ends - Big Fish (I REFUSE to let my friend play this cast recording when she is with me. I would flood the fricken car with tears.)
-The Letter, The Letter (Reprise), Angry Dance (I know it doesn't have lyrics, but the emotion he is going through reminds me SO much of when I was younger and even how I am now)- Billy Elliot
-I Dreamed A Dance, You Don't Know, Light -Next to Normal
-Not My Father's Son, Hold Me in Your Heart, Raise You Up/Just Be (happy tears) - Kinky Boots
-Being Alive - Company (Although it depends on who sings it)
-Bring Him Home- Only Kristin Chenoweth's cover has ever made me cry during this song, as weird as that sounds.
-Children Will Listen- Into the Woods
-No Time At All (happy tears)- Pippin' (but only when Andrea Martin sings it for some reason)
-Loving You, No One Has Ever Loved Me- Passion
