Readers response: What's one song that never fails to make you cry?

We asked our readers what song always fills them with emotion, whether because of the lyrics or being associated with a heartfelt memory. Here's what they said.

Kathryn Sands - Dance with my Father by Luther Vandross.

Carol Hanson - Amazing Grace. Was played on the bagpipes at my mum's funeral.

Matthew Walter - Probably "When You Kiss Me" by Shania Twain, as it's the song my wife walked down the aisle to on our wedding day. The other one would be "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted" by Carrie Underwood, which played after my son was born. Just sums up parenthood perfectly!

Patricia Sundin - “I was only 19”. Makes me think of all my friends who were conscripted to go to fight in Vietnam. Not a happy time.

Janette Willis - What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong. 

Trish Watts - If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks.

Jan Palmer - Imagine by John Lennon. 

Adelle Ellmers - Sounds of Silence cover by Disturbed. Played at my husband's funeral. It was one of his favourites.

Gay Sharran Gold - At Last…. I have to turn it off when it plays. My daughter married her partner two days before she died and had that playing for their song.

Heather Widjaja - Monsters by James Blunt. Always reminds me of the last days of my Dad's life.

Jeanette Heaton - Forever Young by Bob Dylan. Reminds me of my beloved - lost too soon.

Laraine Hughes - Because by Mario Lanza. Walked down the aisle and played at my beloved husband's funeral. Started and ended our life together.

Rhonda Leaman - Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz.
