    What is it with "You Are My Sunshine"??

    When my firstborn was tiny, the very first time I tried singing this to him I just LOST IT.  Inexplicably.

    My Grandma used to sing it to me, and it never made me cry then.   And now, my "baby" is 20 and ever since he was young, 8 or 9, he cannot hear that song without tearing up either.  It's a really intense reaction.

    @Charlotte_Sometimes that's the same with me! My 5 year old sang it to me a couple of days ago. I had to hold back my tears so she didn't thing she made me sad.

    I can relate to the OP. My dad died 7 yrs ago at 53 and certain songs rip me up.
    Couple of repeats...

    Let it Be, In My Life, & I'll Follow the Sun- Beatles (for my dad)
    Daughter- Loudon Wainwright III (saw it in Knocked Up, reminds me of DD)
    True Companion- Marc Cohen (that song is like the epitome of love...)
    "O Holy Night"... at Christmas-time
    The Dance- Garth Brooks
    Time Passages- Al Stewart (makes me think of my mom getting older, which is never a good thought)

    and that Hallelujah scene from Shrek- oh, man.

    @nikki  I'm glad Dw isn't the only one who cries to Vermillion pt 2,

    Also You Are My Sunshine is how my daughter got her nickname, it makes Dw tear up too.
    You show the lights that stop me turn to stone, You shine it when I'm alone. And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
    And dreaming when they're gone.

    Right now a big one for me has been Taylor Swifts Keep Your Eyes Open. I'm sure once things start looking up I'll feel less like bawling over it.

    The 8th of November by Big and Rich ALWAYS gets me.

    Jane Sibery - It Can't Rain all the Time from The Crow.

    Flogging Molly's - If I Ever Leave this World Alive

    Amazing Grace...doesn't matter who sings it.

    And always...ALWAYS...shit I'm tearing up right now listening to it...the piano version of the Love Story theme song. My mom used to play it all the time when I was a little girl. I'd sit at the top of the steps, lay my head against the wall and listen to it. My mom is still alive and well...there's no real horrible moment wrapped up in that song. There's just a beauty to it that makes me cry.
