Thread Name: Songs You Can't Sing for Crying
Subject: RE: Songs You Can't Sing for Crying
"Danny Boy" because it makes me so sad. I can mostly keep it together until the part where the parent is talking about if Danny should return after the parent dies and then I just burst out crying every time. This has happened all of my life. Others can sing "Danny Boy" with so much happiness and others can sing it with reverence. I sing it with tears.

"Irish Lullaby" because it is so sweet. I used to sing it when I was a singing waitress at an Irish restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The customers always loved it. Whenever I sang it for sweet, elderly ladies, they always had a tear in their eyes while they smiled at me. Later on, I always taught that song in my music classes at school. I can sing it without crying, but have always held a soft spot in my heart for those little old ladies.
