The Anniversary Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
