What Is The One Song That Makes You Smile And Cry At The Same Time?

[Spoonboy]

With such successful response to my second question at AB, I would like to know what one song makes you smile and cry at the same time?

For myself, my partner died in 2010 but whom I still miss and love, and Leona Lewis singing "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", makes me smile and cry at the same time.

What is your song, and thanks in advance.

Garth Brookes - The Dance. Choke up every time

[DaisyNonna]

'It's a wonderful world' Dislike the song but it reminds me of happier, then sadder times.

Strangely enough Spoonboy, the same song as you but sung by Roberta Flack.

There are two songs that make me sad. One is Bobby Goldsboro's Honey because my dad played it for months after my mum died and Wonderful world by Louis Armstrong because it reminds me of a dear uncle.
Can't think of any funny songs at the moment. I may get back to you.

[Spoonboy]

Both are sung equally well vulcan42; and, I do like the original as much. It has everything a ballad needs.

[Bbbananas]

Softly as I leave you by Frank Sinatra.
For various reasons.
And
I hope you dance by Leanne Womack.

Kevin Rudolf - Great Escape, always makes me blub like a baby and i'm smiling or I'm smiling but it usually makes me cry.

Shoota, that is so lovely x

Nobody's Child


I'm nobody's Child,
I'm no-body's Child,
Just like a flower,
I'm growing wild,
No Ma-ma's kisses, and
No daddies smile,
Nobody wants' me,
I'm nobody' child

Some of the bigger boys used to make this orphan girl sing it at school. So not so much smile, but cry...... :-(

I can't think of any song which is that powerful - to make smile and cry at the same time.

[shoota]

Makes me leak like a colander Bbbbbananas....:-)

Jennifer Rush, The Power of Love. Reason not to be divulged.

[Spoonboy]

Shoota: very haunting. The only one I can add to that has to be Gabriel Faure's Cantique de Jean Racine.

All are fantastic by the way.

Jeza: I remember that song, as I bought it for my mum in 1986.

[WyeDyed]

Reminds me of my dad...
Good memories, sad that he is no longer here.

[DaisyNonna]

Bring Him Home from Les Mis. Smile because the music is beautiful, cry because what is happening is so sad.

[Jeza]

Beautiful song Mamya. I'm glad you loved your Daddy, he must have been a good Dad. I was not that lucky.
