For me it's Erasure's version of "Goodnight" from their "Other People's Songs" album. It pushing 20 years since I first heard it. Decided there and then it's my funeral song and I haven't deviated from that since

Original was Cliff Eberhardt - who wrote it 1974 - which wasnae to my taste.
.
A song though that had me a dripping mess in a layby, deciding it was a bereavement song, was Enya's "If I could be where you are"

Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
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 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
Mr KC has been all those things (and more) to me since I found myself no longer able bodied, so it really gets me in the feels  |

More and more songs have this effect on me lately. It can only be a matter of time before Westlife's oeuvre reduces me to a sobbing puddle. But I digress...
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Find the River - REM
At my most beautiful - REM
Killing me softly - Roberta Flack |

Awwww definitely James TW "When you love someone" about the breaking down of a family due to separation as told by a father to his son. It really hits a nerve  |

It's quite literally true. He was my strength when I was living in bed. He's advocated for me, shouted up for me all the way through. He's held me hand and quite literally carried me through. Fuck knows how he's physically assisted me because I'm nigh on 20kg heavier than him but he did. He might be slim, quiet and reserved but he's the best husband, dad and all round good egg in the world  |

"Not songs so much as the music but both played on the bagpipes
Amazing Grace and Highland Cathedral "
I walked up the aisle to Highland Cathedral by a piper. Love the Red Hot Chilli Pipers playing it

"Too many songs to mention...but some instrumentals can do it too. Especially if its a brass band.
Ennio Morricone film scores can do this, even if you havent seen the films."
Gabriel's Oboe. My Grandad's favourite piece to play on his own oboe. How I sat through it at his funeral, fuck only knows. I certainly can't sit through it at home |

To be fair there’s loads of songs that make me cry, I’m a piscean what can I say! But the two that stand out for personal reasons are Queen, who wants to live forever! And Robbie Williams, Angels! Wow they get me every time x |

Lana Del Rey - Black Beauty
It’s about being in love with someone that’s deeply depressed. I blubbed hard when I first heard it - it’s so hopeless and sad |

Unsure if this has been mentioned here yet but for me it’s “the living years “ by Mike and the mechanics.
Might be just me but it does tug at the heart strings for certain reasons |

So many, but to narrow a few down...
Odyssey’s “Looking for a Way Out”
Dido’s “Here with me”
Coldplay’s “Fix You”
Snow Patrol’s “You could be happy”
Art Garfunkel “Bright Eyes” - I can’t listen to this in public as it makes me cry instantly
Simon & Garfunkel’s “El Condor Pasa”

Apologies to those who PM'd saying the Enya song in my OP at the top made them blub 
Not sure if I should be concerned about the "mass convulsions" expression someone used 
Fewer blubbed at the Erasure one. |

Josh Groban 'February Song'
https://youtu.be/fzk09LOxszc
It reminds me of when my best mate asked me to sit with him whilst he told his Mum he was gay and had terminal cancer
I've never heard a human make a noise like it (nor do I want to again)
In particular, it is these lines that resonate
"And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I'll come back to you, one day" |

How long will I love you by Ellie Goulding. It was played at my brother’s wedding & was the 1st time we had danced together (had only been together just under a year). T had had his 1st chemo session a few days before & I just started crying on the dance floor.
Also Amazed by Lonestar. This started me off when we were looking for a 1st dance song for our wedding. We chose something else

A new one
Fragile (Orchestrated) - Midge Ure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyGfGMoSBKE
Cant resist an orchestration and rising strings partic at the
And when respect turns into sympathy
And pure concern turns into fear
(blub blub blub)
does go on a bit at the end tho
.
You might as well have asked me not to breathe
A damaged soul I had no choice
I see you walk through fields of golden corn
I don't belong, just fragile
With every step you raise your grand design
You build your temple to your king
Your shoes fill every step that brought me down
A weeping clown, just fragile
And when respect turns into sympathy
And pure concern turns into fear
