Tod[C]ay has been a [Cmaj7]special day
[Am]An anniversary a r[G]equest
That you pl[C]ay your p[Cmaj7]iano
[Am]As the evening sun sl[G]owly sets
I ne[Dm]ver thought I'd get this o[G]ld dear
[Em]Never had a reason to l[Am]ive so long
And the L[Dm]ord's been like my s[G]hadow
[Em]Even when I[Am] was wrong
No I ne[F]ver thought it would tu[D]rn out this w[G]ay
A b[C]irthday with [Cmaj7]apologies
[Am]For all the tears and reg[G]rets
And I've [C]always saved your p[Cmaj7]oetry
[Am]For these years when you for[G]get
I [Dm]never thought I'd get this o[G]ld dear
[Em]Never had a reason to l[Am]ive so long
And the L[Dm]ord's been like my s[G]hadow
[Em]Even when I[Am] was wrong
No I n[F]ever thought it would t[D]urn out this w[G]ay[G7]
So si[C]ng with me so[E]ftly
[Am]As the day tu[C]rns to night
And later I'll dr[F]eam
Of pa[Em]radise with y[Dm]ou
I l[G]ove you and good ni[C]ght
