IDK, I don't listen to enough songs to know.

Some songs are defintly sad, but don't make cry.

Wait, yeah there's one, but shoot I forgot what's its called :(

My family made a video of my Grandpa Wilbur who died 19 years ago and the song on it makes me cry watching the video :(
I THINK it's called "Up to where you are" or something like that.

Well, just off the top of my head:

"The Wings That Fly Us Home" by John Denver (From joy and cuz it's such an amazingly beautiful song, I can't listen to it without weeping.)

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel (This is my song with my anam-cara, my "soul friend", who I haven't seen for over 25 years.)

"Everybody Hurts" by REM (NOT a great song to listen to when you suffer from depression as I do, but it's still a powerful and moving song)

"When I Was a Boy" by Dar Williams (Reminds me way too much of myself, and the second part, when her male friend reminisces about 'when he was a girl' and he could get away with things like bringing his mom flowers, and telling his mom "I love you", things like that... VERY powerful song, get it)

Gads, just writing about these four songs, I'm crying. I'm such a mushball.

"Even Now" by Barry Manilow, because it reminds me alot of my ex-boyfriend, especially the line "I wonder why it's still so hard without you". When I saw Barry in concert last year, he sang that and I couldn't help but get tears in my eyes.

Tonight, I heard Neil Diamond's "Hello Again" on the radio, and I don't know why I got tears in my eyes again!!!
