Eva Cassidy
"Anniversary Song"


Today has been a special day 
An anniversary, a request 
That you play your piano 
As the evening sun slowly sets 

Chorus
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 the rest 
And I’ve always saved your poetry 
For those years when you forget 

Chorus

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
