-"Come To Your Senses" - Tick, Tick... Boom
-"I'll Cover You (reprise)" - RENT

-"Here Alone" - Little Women
-"I'm Here" - The Color Purple
-"Bring Him Home" - Les Miserables
-"Finale: Children Will Listen" - Into the Woods
-"I Wanted New Shoes" - The Screams of Kitty Genovese
I'm sure there are others that aren't popping into my head right now.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride.
I love you because I know no other way than this.
I believe in fate

The number one song that I cannot get through without tears is With So Little To Be Sure Of from Anyone Can Whistle.
From Sunday In The Park With George there is Children and Art, We Do Not Belong Together, and Move On.
From Into The Woods we have Children Will Listen and No One is Alone.
Sondheim makes me feel.
Also, from [Title Of Show], A Way Back To Then gets me everytime. For Good from Wicked, I'll Cover You (Reprise) from RENT, Left Behind from Spring Awakening, Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along, What I Did For Love, Lesson #8.
There's more of course. So many of them aren't really sad either. I just connect to them in a way that makes me feel so deeply.

I agree with Foster on "Left Behind". It made me more emotional the second time I saw SA, especially when Jonathan hits the high notes near the end.
When performed right, "I Know Where I've Been" from Hairspray really resonates with me.

Lot's Wife is the only thing that's made me cry on a recording.
In live theatre, the only thing that's made me cry was the scissors monologue in "Intimate Apparel." Not a song but mentionable, since it beats quite a few songs and that's what this thread is about. :P

I admit to crying during "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera"... especially when I saw it live. I bawled my eyes out.
"I Don't Care Much" [from Cabaret] always is a song that connects to me. I've heard numerous recordings of this song, but nothing beats seeing it performed live. I had that privilage over the summer and every night, it brought tears to my eyes.
"I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and dreamer of improbable dreams." - Doctor Who
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables

Fire Within Me-Little Women
Some Thing's Are Meant To Be-LW

Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You-Last5Years
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order."
