Today has been a special day
an anniversary, a request
that you play your piano
as the evening light slowly fades
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 regrets
and I've always saved your poetry
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
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
