Anniversary Song

Today has been a special day An anniversary, a request That you play your piano As the evening sun slowly sets Chorus I never thought I'd get this old dear Never had a reason to live so long And the Lord's been like my shadow Even when I was wrong No I never thought it would turn out this way A birthday with apologies For all the tears and the rest And I've always saved your poetry For those years when you forget Chorus So sing with me softly As the day turns to night And later I'll dream of paradise with you I love you and good night
