Help me find a song for a film I'm making!

Every year I make a film for the school where I work - a kind of 'year in pictures'. I need a final song - last year we had Paul Potts' 'Time to say goodbye', which was great - beautiful song, nice story about the singer - and I need a new wistful song - happy sad, if you see what I mean.
My boss is hell-bent on that sob-fest "Slipping through my fingers" by Abba but I reckon that would reduce all the mums to full-on hysterics, whereas I want 'lump in throat'.

Can anyone suggest an alternative?

"Times like these" by Jack Johnson.

I remember that sunscreen song - like it!

Oooh - thank you somuch, lots more to listen to! This will keep me going for the next few years' worth of films!!

The school is a primary - 3 to 11 years old - and we give a copy of the film to each parent and show it to them all at the final assembly of the summer term when the Year 6 children are leaving. It'salways an emotional day anyway!

The film is a nice keepsake - and as every child in the school is in it (yes, it's a huge pain going through it again and again ticking off the children!) it's a nice record of them growing up!!

Thank you all, I really am grateful for your help!
