He wrote it for the Civil War movie - I think the movie's title was Cold Mountain. Alison Krauss sings it on the soundtrack, but youtube has videos of him singing it live in several different venues, including one with Emmylou Harris at the Grand Ole Opry. If you are a Costello fan, I bet you will like it a lot.
The four opening notes are almost like Danny Boy, which is another song fits well in this category :)
BTW I edited this, I hope it doesn't post double.

Yep, Brothers in Arms, and just about every song of Sarah McLachlan's that they used on dueSOUTH.
But my favorite...

I must be emotionally stunted or somthing.. Music doesnt make me cry. I cried once when ACDCs Hells Bells was playing but i'd just whacked my thumb with a hammer so I dont think it counts.

Adagio for Strings, Barber, well placed the the soundtrack for Platoon.
Color of Night, Jane Siberry
Calling All Angels, Jane Siberry
It Can't Rain All the Time, Jane Siberry
From Braveheart, I think it's Murran's Theme, as she is buried.
Seventeen, Chris LeDoux
This Cowboy's Hat, Chris LeDoux
Some Gave All, Billy Ray Cyrus
Ships That Don't Come In, Joe Diffie
The Dance, Garth Brooks
Something in Red, Lorrie Morgan
Where Does My Heart Beat Now, Celine Dion
When the Blackbird Sings, Saraya
From the Soundtrack for Prizzi's Honor, the piece during their assasinations, don't have it handy here.
All of the Sarah McLachlan cuts in dueSouth, I think it was Victoria's Theme for his Love, Melina Kanakaredes.

For me, without question, it's "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer. For some reason this song, more than any other, starts the water works.
I've always wondered why. It sounds like it should be a song from the late 60's early 70's, but it was written and sung in the 90's. I guess it has that nostaligic kind of feel to it.
Then, one day, it came to me. It reminded me of a girlfriend I had when I was much younger. She was a simply sweet girl, unpretentious and unfettered by modern trappings. Plus she had these amazing blue eyes. She pops into my head every single time I hear it. She was my Inara.
Thinking of her now.
SGG
Tawabawho?

Ooh! It is so great to hear some love for Sixpence None the Richer. I am a huge fan of their CD "This Beautiful Mess", which has a great alternative sound with a female singer who has a beautiful voice. Phoenixrose, I was actually thinking you might want to check it out -- though it isn't as metal as some of the bands you have mentioned on other threads. "Circle of Error", while not my favorite on the CD (That would be "Within a Room Somewhere" or "Angeltread"), has been known to make me choke up now and then...
Oh, also I get choked up with Nickelback's "Saving Me" (I think that is what it is called, anyway).

And yes, The Smiths have a few like that. "I wear black on the outside, 'cuz black is how I feel on the inside..."
"And if a ten-ton truck...."
Yes, the book is by Mr. E himself. its his life story told in a very simple, straightforward manner, but it is such a remarkable, and remarkably sad, tale that it needs no embellishment.
Wouldn't recommend it for Christmas reading though.
