Today has been a special day
An anniversary a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
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 regrets
And I ve always saved your poetry
For these years when you forget
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
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
