Anniversary Song - Katie Melua

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
