What song makes you sad? What song makes you happy?

Someone may have written a discussion like this, I can't remember. But there are so many songs that mean different things to me. Some remind me of when I was young, some of tragedies we've been through.
When I was really small, my mama taught me the song "Daddy's Little Girl" and I remember singing it to him. For years after he passed away, that song brought tears to my eyes.
After our son's wife died in 2005 at 34 and we were helping raise their baby Nathan, I would sing "You are my Sunshine" to him. Rachel sang it to him and I'd sing it and cry.
Two songs that have always made me smile are "That's the way Love Goes" by Johnny Rodriguez (it reminds me of early in our marriage) and "I Love" by Tom T. Hall. My husband used to sing that to our granddaughter when she was little. I can still hear both of them singing the last line "And I love you tooooo!"
Do you have songs that have special meanings to you? Which ones bring a tear? Which ones bring a laugh or a smile?
I have so many others with a story behind them, but too many for here right now!
The photo's our granddaughter when she was dressed for Halloween one year.

I'm not too familiar with Bollywood music. I've seen a couple of the movies.

@1creekgirl I remember my mother just hating it when my father used to sing 'Nobody's Child'.

@1creekgirl Song about an orphan boy who no-one would adopt - dreadfully sad! First by Hank Snow.
Nobody's Child by Hank Snow Lyrics: As I was slowly passing by an orphan's home one day, I thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children play. A...

@xFiacre Oh my gosh! That's the saddest, most depressing song I've ever heard!

I guess that's a joke, but since I've never heard the song, I'm just guessing here.

See you again by wiz Khalifa makes me cry. For obvious reasons. Picture by kid rock was my song with my daughter so makes me cry too.
Happy fun songs make me happy.

@Helikaputo yes, same. But for me it's more of having lost family that makes it sad

@mynameiskate I like Ed Sheeran, but haven't heard this song. Music has always been a big part of my life, too.

@1creekgirl Actually quite a few special and then there are those "our" songs but they for us. And of course they change. Right now, I'm listening to a song I've played about 30 times today and many times before now. I See Fire - Ed Sheeran (Janet Devlin cover) do you?

You Keep Me Hanging On used to make me very sad because I thought my husband (boyfriend at the time) was never going to ask me to marry him. 49-1/2 years later, here we are!

No particular song comes to mind when it comes to songs making me feel sad although artists have written many sad songs usually about lost love. There is a song by the Beach Boys called "Caroline No" which brings a sad feeling to me. Happy songs are much easier because music can be so uplifting. I'll go with my favorite group The Beatles recording of "Eight Days A Week." It's a great love song with an upbeat tempo.
