What’s the Saddest Song You Ever Heard?
There’s a lot of them out there but this is one that can bring a tear to my eye at the right time?

There's another one that really gets to me..."Danny Boy." It's an Irish ballad, so it should be sung by an Irish tenor, and the best one I've ever heard is Finbar Wright.

Almost anything used by TCM when they do their "TCM Remembers" memorial at the end of the year.
2011 is the one that means the most to me. The first line of the song describes what I did for six months before leaving my bedridden first wife who was dying of cancer. I always made sure she had a drink before I left the facility that was looking after her.

My English Setter, Sam, is 12. I get a tear in my eye when I think of losing him, as well as the canine friends all of us have lost in years past.
This song pretty well sums it up for me.

Drove My Chevy to the Levee ( American Pie ).
Got tears in my eyes when I first heard it while driving 400 miles to visit a friend who was jailed for his stance on the Viet Nam War.
I respected his courage while not agreeing with him.

When I was knee high Go Tell Aunt Rhody hit me where I lived.
First time I perceived the sense of loss when one, be it man or beast is gone.

I was trying to remember it, then pharman posted it. "Honey"
It's a tear jerker. "The Autumn of My LIfe" was another good one.
And so was "Old Shep,"

"Bring Him Home" sung my Michael Crawford of Phantom of the Opera fame.
If that song and his voice doesn't bring a tear to your eye, IMO nothing will.
WuzzFuzz
MICHAEL CRAWFORD
Bring Him Home Lyrics
God on high
here my pray
in my need
you have always been there
he is young
he's afraid
let him rest
heaven blessed
bring him home
bring him home
bring him home
he's like the son I might have known
if God had granted me a son
the summer's die one by one
how soon they fly on and on
before I'm old before I'm gone
bring him peace
bring him joy
he is young
he is only a boy
you can take you can give
let him be let him live
if I die, let me die
let him live
bring him home
bring him home
bring him home

First time I heard this on the radio, I bawled my seven-year-old eyes out. It took the place of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" that my grandma used to sing to me, as the saddest song ever.

Too many to name..
There are songs that make me cry, but not because they are sad. Then there all the ones that are REALLY sad.
Johnny Cast 'Hurt' is pretty dang sad.
Cat's in the Cradle- Harry Chapin
Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright version is my fave
Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Only the Lonely - Roy Orbison (OK 'Crying' and 'In Dreams', too)
Without You - Harry Nilsson.
In choir we've done everything from 'Messiah' to Andre Crouch. But it's the simple ones that sneak in the back door and clobber you. I think it was "I Have Come To You" that was written and dedicated to a child that had died. It doesn't mention that in the song, but the childlike faith that is mature for it's years.... I've never gotten through it unscathed. 
I would be amiss if I didn't include some operatic
tear-jerkers.
Federico's Lament - Cilea (He can't get her out of his head)

I find it even more sad sung at George's funeral by Allan Jackson.

Muss, I can take Amazing Grace on bag pipes, but not at a funeral of one our own.

I have two that sends chills up and down.
The first is Amazing Grace as done on the Bagpipes single or with a group of them.
The second has to be Taps which is either followed or before the 21 gun salute.
Tears me up just thinking about how they have been done at Funerals I have attended. Chills running up in my back and neck just thinking about now.
