Listening to " The Light In The Piazza " that music is so beautiful it actually
brings me to tears. How about music that makes you cry with it's beauty ?

I agree 100% about piazza. That music is just so rapturous it brings me to tears as well.
Specifically "Say It Somehow".

The very end of Les Mis
As soon as Valjean sings "On this page, I write my last confession..." the tears start
I even sometimes tear up listening to the recordings at that point -- especially the Paris cast with Robert Marien

Posted: 3/23/08 at 1:24pmSome of Les Miserables' music made me tear up a little. I saw Lea Salonga sing "I Dream a Dream" - she did such a beautiful job that i cried a little. I think I also cried a bit during "Little Fall of Rain." I'm not usually one to cry during sad moments in shows, but the cast did such a wonderful job getting into their parts!

Oh, and I forgot to list BARE on there. As amateur as some of BARE is, it struck an undeniable chord with me. I actually cannot listen to the recording anymore because it puts me back in such a bad place.
"Role of a Lifetime"
"No Voice"
"A Quiet Night at Home"
"Ever After"
"Touch my Soul"
"Once Upon a Time"
and more.

""Lot's Wife" from CAROLINE OR CHANGE is one of those."
Interesting. For a long time that was the only song I could cite that I'd literally cried from listening to it.
