As for a song for them, I seem to be leaning towards stuff by The Beatles/Paul McCartney. The two that really come to mind are Maybe I'm Amazed as a serious one and When I'm 64 for adorable giggles. But both illustrate what they do for each other, Maybe I'm Amazed in general terms and When I'm 64 on a smaller, everyday scale.
Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney:
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time And hung me on a line Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man Who's in the middle of something That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman Who could ever help me Baby won't you help me understand, Oohhh
Maybe I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man Who's in the middle of something That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman Who could ever help me Baby won't you help me understand, Oohhh
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song Right me when I'm wrong Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
Oh maybe I'm amazed Maybe I'm amazed Yeh, yeh yeh Yeh, Maybe I'm amazed I'm amazed, with you Oo-oo Oo-oo
When I'm 64 by The Beatles:
When I get older, losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I've been out 'til quarter to three, Would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm 64?
Oohhh You'll be older too And if you say the word I can stay with you.
I can be handy mending a fuse When your light has gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds Who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm 64?
Every summer, we could rent a cottage at the Isle of Wight, If it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say Yours Sincerely, Wasting Away
Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine forevermore Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm 64?
