Today has been a special day
An anniversary; a request
That you play your piano
As the evening lights slowly fade

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
Even since I was grown
No, I never knew it would turn out this way

A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and regrets
And I've always saved your poetry
[From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
For all the 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
Even 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
