Today has been a special day
an anniversary and request
that you play your piano
as the evening sun slowly sets
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

The birthdays with apologies
for all the tears and regrets
and I've always saved your poetry
for these years when you forget
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

So sing with me softly
as the day turns to night
and later on dear, paradise with you
I love you and goodnight
