Anniversary Song

Today has been a special 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
A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and regrets
And I've always saved your poetry
For these years when you forget
So sing with me softly
As the day turns to night
And later I'll dream of paradise with you
I love you and good night
