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:- I never thought I`d:
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
