So glad to get to quote this song, IMO, one of the finest story songs ever written. Just a beautiful work of art. And it's a true story. You can see the famous coat at "Dollywood", the Dolly Parton theme park in Tennessee.
"Coat Of Many Colors" by Dolly Parton
Back through the years I go wandering once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall
Mama sewed the rags together And in every piece, with love She made my coat of many colors That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story From the Bible, she had read About a coat of many colors Joseph wore And then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you Good luck and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it And Mama blessed it with a kiss
My COAT of many colors That my mama made for me Made only from rags But I wore it so PROUDly Although we had no money I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My mama made for me
So with patches on my britches And holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing And making fun of me In my coat of many colors My mama made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich And I told them of the love My mama sewed in every stitch And I told them all the story Mama told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colors Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it And I tried to make them see That one is only poor Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money But I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors My mama made for me Made just for me
next: proud

Siren, the lyrics to "Coat of Many Colors" are beautiful. If you'd asked 'what song lyrics can give you a feel-good cry' in "the best" thread instead of movies, this would have to be one of them.
from "Family Reunion" by Saliva
Ladies and gentlemen, here I come again I consider everyone of you folks my friends I've been gone for awhile, but I'm back again To host a mother-lovin' party that never ends You've been beside me through all my up's and downs You've seen me fall and you've seen me stand up so proud You've seen me draw everyone one of you in to a crowd, So throw your hands up and shout it out loud!
next word: crowd

You're right - "Coat Of Many Colors" is a tearjerker. The thought of the mom telling her the story of Joseph to make her feel better about that little patchwork coat.....*gulp*. I've got a mom like that.
from "Party Crowd" by David Lee Murphy
Tonight I'm looking for a PARTY CROWD Slamming 'em back and laughing out loud Where the smoke's so thick, the blues can't hang around With the jukebox jumping like it just don't care If they're dancing over here or fighting over there I'm making the rounds, looking for a party crowd

from "Ordinary Life" by Chad Brock
Shelly's at the kitchen table, CUP of COFFEE the morning paper When he walks in she's so surprised to see the tears in his eyes He says, "I love you, I'm so sorry, but bigger dreams are waiting for me But I can't do this anymore
Pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again We go to church, go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life"
Shelly's at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper "Hey Mom, look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you" And later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hair So thankful for every day
They pay their bills, watch TV, day in, day out, it's all they need Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new Precious are the days as they go by in their ordinary life
Phone rings, he's calling from the airport It's midnight, he's all alone again He says, "I can't believe how much I've missed And what I wouldn't give
To pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again Go to church, go to work, I can't tell you how this hurts I miss my son, I miss my wife and my ordinary life"

"Broadway" by Alison Krauss
a sublime performance:
I stood on faith and the corner of ambition I came here to SINK or SWIM And to show them all that they were wrong And though I never thought I'd make it this far
So the curtains are down For the moment I'm someone There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way Now there gone But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are
When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home
When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home
Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home
next: swim
