Weepies and tear jerkers can either be pieces of music that make you feel like that (ie. they may be in a minor key and sound very sad), or have words that make you feel this way. Like this one ...
Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you
You taught me how to love
And now you say that we are through
I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear
Until the day I die
Now and then there's a fool such as I.
That's really sad!
You're probably thinking of Elvis Presley singing this, but here is something a little different.
