Here's an old favorite:
from the Wedding Singer, sung by Adam Sandler (as Robbie Hart), with special participation by Billy Idol....

"Grow Old With You"
[Billy Idol (Speaking):] Good afternoon everyone.
We're flying at 26,000 feet, moving
up to thirty thousand feet, and then we've got clear skies
all the way to Las Vegas, and right now we're bringin you some in-flight
entertainment. One of our first-class passengers has written a song
inspired by one of our coach passenger, and since we let our first-class
passengers do pretty much whatever they want, here he is.
[Robbie Hart (Singing):]
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you
I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
and so goes yet another feel-good song that isn't so "feel-good" when you're not in a relationship or if you're in a relationship-gone-bad.
In any case, it's something I'd like my baby to look forward to. She just turned 7 yesterday and boy has she grown! (See her with her little cousin in the attached picture. Cousin celebrates her birthday the day after Kimi's.) Now a first grader, very inquisitive and is happy doing gymnastics twice a week. Her coach says she can start competing by December. I think I'm more nervous for her!
