Today has been a special day
AmG
An anniversary a request
CCmaj7
That you play your piano
AmG
As the evening sun slowly sets
DmG
I never thought I'd get this old dear
EmAm
Never had a reason to live so long
DmG
And the Lord's been like my shadow
EmAm
Even when I was wrong
FDG
No I never thought it would turn out this way
CCmaj7A birthday with apologies
AmG
For all the tears and regrets
CCmaj7
And I've always saved your poetry
AmG
For these years when you forget
DmG
I never thought I'd get this old dear
EmAm
Never had a reason to live so long
DmG
And the Lord's been like my shadow
EmAm
Even when I was wrong
FDGG7
No I never thought it would turn out this way
CE
So sing with me softly
AmC
As the day turns to night
F
And later I'll dream
EmDm
Of paradise with you
GC
I love you and good night
