Not a song, I realise, and perhaps slightly clichéd, but Barber's "Adagio for Strings" gets me every time.
After 9/11, the BBC proms changed the "Last Night" programme, and Adagio for Strings was on of the pieces played. The conductor was an American guy, Leonard Slatkin. If you want to see barely restrained emotion, have a look at his face at the end of the piece, from about 9'45" in the YouTube clip.
