Which pop ballad makes you cry?

Speaking of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," Foxes in Fiction's "Shadow's Song" got me pretty weepy again the other night. It has Owen Pallett playing a sorta homage to the strings in early 60s r&b/rnr, though "Stand by Me" might be a better reference point.

Carly Simon, That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
Carole King, So Far Away

otm, So Far Away is a tearjerker for me too

The-Dream's "Mama" also. given my recent parent drama that one might be too much tho.

"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush (every. damn. time)

Mary J. Blige - Not Gon' Cry
Keyshia Cole - I Remember

A while ago I was driving a car, alone, with no working sound system, singing Simon & Garfunkel songs to pass the time. I started crying while singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

When it was just me and the lyrics - and no audience - I was overwhelmed by the song's message of unconditional support. The recording does not have this effect on me.
