Anniversary Song lyrics

Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/eva_cassidy/anniversary_song.html ]
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 regrets
And I've always saved your poetry
For these years when you forget

Chorus:- I never thought I'd…

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
