I'm a sucker for children singing anything! I tear up just thinking about it!
A little boy singing The Little Drummer Boy at Christmas tears me up!!!

Any sad Irish ballad does it for me--it doesn't even have to be sung in English--I listen to songs performed in Gaelic and it gets me every time. Don't know the words, just the feelings it evokes.

Danny Boy, The Green, Green Grass of Home, The Foggy Dew, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Amazing Grace and Taps.
Never get through any of these without goose bumps, a lump in my throat or dry eyes.

I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

I'm The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA - don't know why but the song couldn't fit me any better and everytime I hear it on the radio I sing along at the top of my lungs and by the end I'm teared up.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

"Empty" by Ray LaMontagne. One of the best groups of lyrics I've ever heard in a song with sweeping, landscapes of music: "she lifts her skirt up to her knees, walks through the garden row with her barefeet, laughing...I never learned to count my blessings, I choose instead to dwell on my disasters." and "Lay your blouse across the chair, let fall the flowers from your hair and kiss me with that country mouth so plain." Yep, got goosebumps right now, just looked :).
"At Last" by Etta James, Annie's Song by John Denver, April Come She Will by Simon and Garfunkel, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2 (even my MOM gets goosebumps with this one!), and so many others. I love music, it's what fuels me on most days.

There are so many- "Danny Boy", "Can't Stop Lovin' You" by the Outlaws, anything on bagpipes, Jesu Joy of man's desiring, and when I have been away from home anything by Bruce Springsteen.
"good Enough" by Sarah Machlachlan, alot of songs by Martina McBride....just rambling now...

Ooooh, It is Well With My Soul...good one.
I was in an orchestra when I was younger and we played that while we on tour in Europe. Playing that song in this beautiful old churches, talk about goosebumps!

Arms of an Angel - Yes!
At Last - Yes!
Amazing Grace on bagpipes - Yes!
I'll add:
"People Get Ready" by Seal
"Amazing Grace" by Judy Collins
"Poems, Prayers, and Promises by John Denver
I'm sure there are others, but I gotta go to YouTube right now--I'm suddenly in a music mood.

Amazing Grace..aka the by dee by by song (our family lullibye) hummed by 5 generations of grandkids to rocking babes.
Over the Rainbow/It's a Beautiful World, by IZ. (To be sung at my funeral waaaaaaaay in the future)
My Wild Irish Rose, sung by my dad as he was on morphine and dying. What a sweet song, and the first time I ever heard him sing. (I can still hear it after 30 years)

Amazing Grace and Scotland the brave on bagpipes gets me everytime. And I think it was from the 80s, but the was a song about horses called ( I think) Run for the Roses and for some silly reason that song makes me choke up and cry. I love hoses =)

How Great Thou Art
My grandpa sings it every Thanksgiving service at church...I'm not sure if it's the song or the thought that one day he won't be here to sing it anymore that brings tears to my eyes... |

"Mary Did You Know" by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd - especially the part near the end when they sing "...the child that you delivered will soon deliver you" and then the music builds up and they sing something like the baby that you're holding is the GREAT I AM - wow - just thinking about it gets me stirred up. Check it out.

Boys of fall, by Kenny Chesney, because it reminds me of my daughter and her friends leaving home for university and how friends swear they'll stick together
Angels among us, by Alabama
If heaven wasn't so far away, by Justin Moore, because it reminds me of my dad who passed away last year

Alan Jackson has a song about his sister which was played at my neice's funeral. She was only 27. She had leukemia at the age 17 and had a bone marrow transplant. The chemo for that destroyed her lungs so than she had a double lung transplant and lived for a year afterwards before rejection started.
