Need help finding a song

[Slacker13]

I am producing a video for my family and I need the right song for the background music. I need a song that refers to remembering people, the old days, ones we lost etc... So it would most likely be a sad type of song. The video is going to have video and still pictures of the great grandparents, the aunts/uncles their kids, their kids kids etc. Basically a look back through the years. Your help is much appreciated.

An undeniable classic, I believe the perfect song for your video.
"In my Life" The Beatles
There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you,
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
In my life I'll love you more.
In my life I'll love you more.

"Picture Book" by The Kinks. Both bittersweet and very catchy with suitable lyrics.

Picture yourself when you're getting old,
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on[? ].
Picture book, pictures of your mama,
taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other,
to prove they love each other a long ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.

A picture of you in your birthday suit,
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.
Picture book, your mama and your papa,
and fat old uncle charlie out cruising with their friends.
Picture book, a holiday in august, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny southend.
Picture book, when you were just a baby,
those days when you were happy, a long time ago.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Na, na, na, na, na na.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.
Picture book.

Etc
