recommend me an old tear-jerker song

im making a video for my grandparents-in-law and want to dub in some music over it. can any recommend some old school music that would be good to for this situation? an example that is almost perfect would be the beatles "blackbird".

my grandparents are in their 70s so they probably arent too familiar w/ all of the beatles stuff and this song is only about 1 1/2 minute long.

preferably old--the older the better--but it doesnt have to be. and probably acoustical.

Do they like country music? There's all kinds of country from the 60's that might work.

Crying by Roy Orbison

Why tearjerker? Isn't it some kind of tribute to them? If so, the songs can be from the 50's and 60's, but shouldn't they be more upbeat?
