C Cmaj7 Today has been a special day Am G An anniversary a request C Cmaj7 That you play your piano Am G As the evening sun slowly sets Dm G I never thought I'd get this old dear Em Am Never had a reason to live so long Dm G And the Lord's been like my shadow Em Am Even when I was wrong F D G No I never thought it would turn out this way C Cmaj7 A birthday with apologies Am G For all the tears and regrets C Cmaj7 And I've always saved your poetry Am G For these years when you forget Dm G I never thought I'd get this old dear Em Am Never had a reason to live so long Dm G And the Lord's been like my shadow Em Am Even when I was wrong F D G G7 No I never thought it would turn out this way C E So sing with me softly Am C As the day turns to night F And later I'll dream Em Dm Of paradise with you G C I love you and good night
