( Eva ca**idy Cover / Live ) Today has been a special day An anniversary, a request That you play your piano As the evening sun slowly sets I never knew i'd get this old dear Never had a reason to live so long And the lord's been like my shadow Ever since i was wrong No i never knew it would turn out this way A birthday with apologies For all the tears and the rest
And i've always saved your poetry For those years when you forget I never knew i'd get this old dear Never had a reason to live so long And the lord's been like my shadow Ever since i was wrong No i never knew it would turn out this way So sing to me softly As the day turns to night And as i wander in paradise with you I love you and good night
