You probably don't have a little girl in your band, but if you do, How Far Is Heaven, I think originally by Kittie Wells- is a major tear jerker. My little one does this song, and we get more requests for it than any other song we do.

I LOVE "Down The Road to Daddy's Dreams" by Darrell McCall. It made my fiance' cry because of the similarity to her relationship with her Dad. Alas, I don't think I can pull it off.

Justin Trevino did "Cold, Cold Hands" the other night, I forgot about that one.
