Letra de Anniversary song

Today...has been a special day...an anniversary of 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
A 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 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 goodnight
