Because they are 'that good'? I realise different songs may affect people differently Smile

I have lots:

The last part of Do the right thing, Simply Red
The last part of Light my fire, Will Young
The whole of Sandstorm, Darude
The chorus of Love Love, Take That
The chorus of The Flood, Take That
The whole of Praying for time, George Michael
The whole of Sing Hallelujah, Dr Alban
The last chorus, to the end Confusion, ELO
The last bit, to fade, Rise, Gabrielle
All of Don't You, Simple Minds
All of Shine, Years and Years
All of Paradise by the dashboard light, Meatloaf
All of Home By The Sea, Genesis

Just off the top of my head Smile

The bit near the end of Fix You by Coldplay (“tears fall, down your face, when you lose something you cannot replace...”)

Snow Patrol's Set The Fire To The Third Bar also

That line in Amy McDonald's "Mr Rock and Roll" where it goes:

"I wish I knew you, I wish I'd met you when time was still on our side"

I lost my partner far too soon, and that line gets me every time I hear it!

I count your eyelashes, secretly.
With every one, I whisper I love you.
I watch you sleep.

From At My Most Beautiful REM

Have loads of others, but these lines make my heart catch.

Too good at goodbyes and Stay with me by Sam Smith....ok any of his songs as his voice is angelic

I heard one the other day that made me almost cry... I think it was One Step Closer by (I think?) Christina Aguilera. Also, Rule the World by Take That.
