I know the song Young Boy was written for James McCartney, and so was Put It There (kind of Paul remembering his own dad as well). He's very family-oriented in his songs...particularly Wings era.

I was thinking, on a sad note, that Tears in Heaven was a gorgeous father-son song. Always makes me cry.
