Songs that make you cry? Here's the one that gets me everytime.... (wipes tears away...)

Whenever a song or story brings tears to my eyes, filling my soul with emotions, I feel more awakened to life and appreciative of the great gift. Do you have a few songs that "get you" every time? I'd love to learn what they are and, if it's not too personal, why they mean so much.
For starters, I'm almost 70 and this Alan Jackson song "Remember When" turns me into a puddle when I think of my wives (loved them all) and my kids and our parents and friends and dogs and gardens ...

It reminds me of my mother, who I lost to COVID in November, 2020. She was the strongest woman I've ever known.
She divorced her first husband in the 1950's (very taboo) because he ran around on her. When she confronted him, he told her, "You have food on the table and a roof over your head. What's your problem?" She told him, "I didn't marry you because I was hungry or didn't have a place to live. Get out." She always worked for a living and never depended on a man to support her.
It was at her job working at a rubber company that she met her second husband, my father. Shortly after they married, my mom and my grandmother started a mexican restaurant, which stayed in business for over 50 years.
My mother taught me how to be a strong, independent woman. She taught me by showing me through her own example. She took chances and never settled. I miss her every day.
