I saw the Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith after beating Celtic yesterday. I was bawling my eyes out. That song makes me cry every single time. And it's a happy song!! What song gets you every time?

There you’ll be by Faith Hill.

It came on in the car on my way home from hospital when my baby son died.

The lyrics:

‘In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be’

Just got me. I bawled my heart out but this song has always made me cry. Whenever I hear it it transports me back to the worst day of my life 😪
