The National Anthem when performed live at sporting events.
TAPS, as mentioned earlier.
Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes (also mentioned earlier)
God Bless the U.S.A. (mentioned above)

Here are some others that were not mentioned above:

The Ragged Old Flag (Johnny Cash)
Why I Love Her (John Wayne)
Arlington (Trace Adkins)
God Bless America (especially LeAnn Rimes version)
I Love You This Much (Jimmy Wayne)
The Dollar (Jamey Johnson)
Alyssa Lies (Jason Michael Carroll)
Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning (Alan Jackson)
Teddy Bear and Phantom 309 (Red Sovine)
Some Gave All (Billy Ray Cyrus)
The Little Girl (John Michael Montgomery)
Cat's In The Cradle (Ricky Skaggs or originally by Harry Chapin)
How Much Does The World Weigh (Tracy Byrd)

I guess I'm a sucker for a good patriotic song, or one where someone gave their life (or made some other sacrifice) for someone else. On the other hand, a couple of these songs are just sad.

Default My all time favorite.......

I would say that the song,

"Because you loved me" Celine Dion

for some reason I think of my mother and everything she has done for me and my siblings and no matter what any of us did she always loved us unconditionally. Even as adults when we dont see things for what they really are, she has always guided us without meddeling or judging and only gives her two cents when asked. She is one special women.


For all those times you stood by me,
For all the truth that you made me see,
For all the joy you brought to my life,
For all the wrong that you made right,
For every dream you made come true,
For all the love I found in you, I'll be forever thankful baby,
You're the one who held me up, never let me fall.
You're the one who saw me through, through it all

You were my strength when I was weak,
You were my voice when I couldn't speak,
You were my eyes when I couldn't see, you saw the best there was in me,
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, you gave me faith 'coz you believed,
I'm everything I am, because you loved me.

You gave me wings and made me fly,
You touched my hand I could touch the sky,
I lost my faith you gave it back to me,
You said no star was out of reach,
You stood by me and I stood tall, I had your love I had it all.
I'm grateful for each day, you gave me,
Maybe I don't know that much, but I know this much is true.
I was blessed because I was, loved by you.



I'm everything I am, because you loved me

DID NOT POST ALL THE LYRICS ON PURPOSE BECUASE OF COPYRIGHT LAWS!!!!

Another guy has recently recorded "Daisy a Day"!!
(Posting this because the Judd Strunk link's audio is off just now - just tried emailing link to torture even more people LOL ).

breadnmolasses.com/atlanticarts/id136.html (Link on the bottom of page).
(Nothing for sale, just a blog, so hope the link's OK).

"The Old Lamplighter" first by Sammy Kaye's Orchestra, then the Browns is a goodie if you're into the older, really sentimental ditties. (Can't find a site with the music, tho :>(

No connection to any person, place, or event. Just the magic of the music.

The part where she says "I'm Fergie Ferg and me love you long time" makes me want to sever my ears with the nearest blunt object.

She must be stopped!
