Tear up 

means to start crying slightly, or for your eyes to fill with tears — usually because you’re touched, moved, or overwhelmed by emotion.
 It’s usually gentle and quiet, not full-on crying.

Examples:

1- She teared up when her friends surprised her with a goodbye party.

2- I always tear up when I hear that one song — it reminds me of my childhood.
