I think that song would make anyone cry. I know if you listen closely to Michael Crawford's version, right at the end it sounds like he's pulling a quick sob-gasp.

Something about music, whether performing or observing, really brings out the emotion. Tonight I was attending another choir concert with some friends. Shortly before intermission, my friend sitting next to me began exhibiting several 'tells' that indicated stealth crying: rubbing the bridge of the nose, covering the face, leaning forward with head down. He didn't make a sound but he was shaking a little; I'm pretty sure he was crying.
