Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
I never knew I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord's been like my shadow
Ever since I was grown
No I never knew it would turn out this way
A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and regret
And I've always saved your poetry
For those years when we forget
I never knew I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord's been like my shadow
Ever since I was grown
No I never knew it would turn out this way
So sing to me softly
As the days turn to night
And let us wander in paradise with you
I love you and good night
