These are some of the songs that I love:
The Day Before You - Rascal Flatts
Baby You Save Me - Kenny Chesney
Why Don't You Stay - Sugarland

These aren't all but you guys already grabbed a bunch of great ones and posted them...Funny how most of us go to country for deep, meaningful songs.

This is such a good topic! I'm gonna have to jump on the traveling solider makes me cry everytime. Recently, I'll Wait For You by Joe Nichols has been making me :tears like a baby. There are too many other songs to name.

I get another type of reaction when I listen to Lips of An Angel. That song just rubs me the wrong way.

OH! I'll Wait For You! I forgot that one is fabulous

And yeah, Lips of an Angel, DB won't even stay in the room if it's on, I hate that song too. What sucks is that it is a really pretty tune and his voice is great, the lyrics are horrible.

Anyone heard that song "I Loved Her First" ? I forget who it's by, country group. Anyway, I cry everytime I hear it thinking about my dad giving me away at my wedding and how he's affected by another man coming into my life. I'll always be a daddy's girl that's for sure!:)
