Songs from shows that *tear* at your heart-strings. Songs that make you FEEL. — Page 6

I've seen Spring Awakening twice very recently, and I couldn't stop crying during "Left Behind" both times. Seriously. Tears running down my face, down my neck, into my lap, I was crying so much.

No question-

Blood Brothers: Tell Me it's Not True
Blood Brothers: Take a Letter Ms. Jones
Merrily We Roll Along: Our Time (mostly within context)

Lullaby of Broadway from 42nd street
Listen from Dreamgirls

"Fable" from "The Light in the Piazza."
"Will You?," "Around the World," and "Another Winter in a Summer Town" from "Grey Gardens."
"Something Wonderful" from "The King and I."
"Rose's Turn" and "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from "Gypsy."
"What I Did for Love" and "The Music and the Mirror" from "A Chorus Line."

"Zing went the strings of my heart," I guess you can say.

The one that comes to mind right now is "Sarah" from THE CIVIL WAR. God, I tear up every single time I hear it.

Being Alive from Company

It's the only song that made me cry when I first heard it performed live. I still get a little teary-eyed when I hear it, despite having listened to it hundreds of times.
