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
No 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
