Eva Cassidy Anniversary Song song lyrics

Today has been a speical day

an anniversary, a 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 birthday 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 lords 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 goodnight
