"When Grandma heard that Grandpa was in the room, she asked if she could hold him. ![]() "Sadly, Grandma is now too weak to sing, but that doesn't stop her from saying the words to him (see at 1:00). That song is "You'll Never Know" by Rosemary Clooney and Harry James. As Laura lies in bed in a hospice facility, Howard touches her sweetly, gazes into her eyes, and sings their special song to her-"The song that comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II," Solari writes on her YouTube page. Got your tissues ready? A woman named Erin Solari posted a video on her Facebook page (and YouTube) of her grandparents Laura and Howard, married 73 years.

From a flatline on the chemistry scale to "how are these two not together IRL?," here's how every couple fared (in our humble opinion).
