To Be One With Each Other by George Eliot
The greatest gift for two human souls is to feel they are joined together to:
strengthen each other in all labor, minister to each other in all sorrow, share with each other in all gladness,
and be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories.
I Wanna Grow Old With You from The Wedding Singer Adam Sandler
I wanna make you smile, whenever you're sad. Carry you around when your arthritis is bad. All I wanna do, is
grow old with you. I'll get you medicine, when your tummy aches. Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh, it could be so nice, growin' old with you. I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. Need
you, feed you. Even let you hold the remote control. So, let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink. Put you to bed
when you've had too much to drink. Oh, I could be the man, (I could be the woman) who grows old with you. I
wanna grow old with you.

Love by Roy Croft (the brief version)
I love you, not only for who you are, but for who
I am when I am with you.
I love you, not only for what you have made of
yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out;
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-
up heart, and passing over all the foolish, weak
things and more than any fate to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch, without a
word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself
Love by Roy Croft (the complete version of the one above)
I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you
have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out; I love
you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can't
help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked
quite far enough to find. I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but
a temple; out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more
than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate to make me happy. You have done it
without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself
