Eva Cassidy Anniversary Song Lyrics

Today has been a special day
an anniversary a request
that you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly set

I never thought
I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so wrong
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 regret
And I've alway saved your poetry
For these years when you forget
I never thought
I'd get this old dearl
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.
