John Cage - In A Landscape (especially performed on the harp by Susan Allen)Debussey - Claire de LunI eWebern - Bagatelle No. 5Seconded: Gorecki - Symphony No. 3 (hardly a "song" though) and the piano / cello movement from Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.
The *real* winner though for me is Messiaen's "O Magnum Mysterium"--honestly I think the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Steve Martin/Bernadette Peters' take on "Tonight You Belong to Me" is really beautiful. Probably not "the most beautiful song ever" but as beautiful as most of the songs listed in this thread...

Somewhere in the 219 messages I skipped there may be a vote for "Little Wing" as recorded by Hendrix. Lovely, lovely song and the only extant version of it without a 49-minute wankeriffic guitar solo, I'll bet.
My Beefheart pick is "My Head is My Only House Unless it Rains." "I'll let a train be my feet if it's too far to walk to you...My arms are just two things in the way until I can wrap them around you"--good stuff.
