"Changes" by Black Sabbath was for many years my #1 tear jerker. Give it a
try - it really doesn't sound "black sabbathish".
"Second Avenue" by Tim Moore does the same for me now.

forth would be "The Grave" by Don McClean.

I doubt my list can even match some of the ones suggested.
"Burnt Sienna" Margaret Urlich
"The day you went away" Wendy Matthews (this one is subjective)
"Tears in Heaven" Eric Clapton
"It's too late" Carole King
"Anna's song" Silverchair
"The willow garden" Nick Cave and Bad seeds
It's been pointed out to me before that a lot of pop songs' have pretty sad
lyrics. My sister and I were discussing about the point that Nick Cave made
about some of Kylie Minogue's music. Read the lyrics and you'll see what I
mean:
"Better the devil you know" Kylie Minogue
"Pleased to me you" Aneiki
"One head light" Wallflowers
"Blaze of Glory" Jon Bon Jovi
But what's really sad is when you hear a politician try to sing for votes. I
never want to hear my local MP sing ABBA ever again.
Stay Frosty,

Mandy (Barry Manilow) Hey, I was breaking up with my first real
girlfriend when that one hit the airwaves.
Fire and Rain (James Taylor) I keep thinking of the Challenger
accident when I hear "Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on
the ground."
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You (Stevie Nicks) I was in the
car driving home from the Flight 93 crash site on the third day when I
first let this song play. Ever try driving 65 mph down a highway
sobbing your guts out?
Superstar (Carpenters)
Duck and Run (3 Doors Down) Great bass line, too.
If You Sleep (Tal Bachman)
I Will Remember You (Amy Grant) A friend of mine, Ellen Dyke, died
from leukemia in 1984, and she will always be remembered.
On The Willows There (Godspell) There's something about sitting in a
church sanctuary with the lights out and playing that song that gets
to me.
Where Are you Going (Godspell) Same as On the Willows.
Rocket Man (Elton John) And all the science I don't understand, it's
just my job 5 days a week....
Faith of the Heart (Enterprise TV show version) The video to this song
kills me when you realize that we're just going to piss away the space
program and we'll never take our rightful place out among the stars. I
always knew as a kid that I'd live to see the first man on the moon. I
just never thought I'd live to see the last man on the moon.
Whatever the song is that has no lyrics that makes me think of
helicopters and Viet Nam and starts out ABCD BCDE.
Great. Now I'm depressed.

I was in Godspell many years back and I was the one who played and sang "Where
Are You Going". I later had it played by friends at my wedding.

The Beatles - Yesterday.
Les Miserables - Drink With Me.

I don't have too many songs that get me because of MY life, but
more just what feelings they evoke. Another for me is "Welcome To
