Elderly man sings to dying wife in heartwrenching video

The songbook standard "You'll Never Know" may have seen its heyday in the 40s and 50s, but its beauty still resonates today.

That's no more clearly demonstrated than in a short video uploaded to Facebook and then to YouTube by Erin Solari this month.

In it, her 92-year-old grandfather is seen comforting his dying wife and eventually serenading her with the tune's romantic lyrics.

I wanted to stop watching but felt I needed to see it through to the end to honer them. What a clear and shining love they have.

There, for all of love and life, we are…. We do not know when.

To love in this life… hurts when we part, but it makes me understand that part we must. May it go so well and lovingly with family.

I need some water now.
