WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG, MAGGIE BELIEVE ME, IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN, KATHLEEN Silver Threads Among The Gold WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THIS LAND * *[maybe not "happy" marriage, but marriage that lasts] Other genres: Years From Now (Don Williams) Always (Irving Berlin) There's also a country song with a line like "...when your hair is turned to silver, I'll still love to lay you down." Can't recall who sang it--Merle Haggard, maybe? And then in another vein, but still germane, I think: from Fiddler on the roof Sunrise, Sunset and Do You Love Me?
There's also a Yiddish song which, please forgive me, I'm about to spell wrong, since I don't have my sheet music in front of me: "Achtzig Ehr Und SiebenSieben Sie" ("He's Eighty and She's Seventy-Seven"
