It's a beautiful song, but may make her feel guilty about leaving so often.

I can't get the youtube at the moment, but could you tweak some lyrics?

I don't think so:

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm… Full lyrics on Google Play

All lyrics can be tweaked; you may not know your Baruch tapes Wink

But yeah, this is an evocative song. Still possible though.
OP, you may want to stick with a traditional gramen, don't know...

You can use the following words to fit your theme:

"Derech Eretz"
Piloting us through life
Running on Auto Pilot
Having all the "maalos"
Reliable
You never did "Take Off" from being our mother
Youv'e reached your destination, the milestone of turning 60

That's true, why don't you take a song you know she likes and tweak those lyrics?
I would love to help you

Me, too.

Pick a song tune, give us some places she has traveled to (or wants to visit), and some other activities she loves.

Alternatively, I suppose we could make a gramen about her being an age to get traded in for a newer model, as per imamother. Twisted Evil
