Lyrics

[00:00.364] Happy Anniversary (Live)-Philip Quast
[00:28.204] I've been ready for hours
[00:31.345] And I'm wearing my best
[00:33.659] Ordered champagne and flowers
[00:36.676] And you're not even dressed
[00:39.534] Tonight's a special night
[00:42.253] To remember with pride
[00:44.713] These twenty happy years
[00:46.768] Since you became
[00:48.256] My bride
[00:50.774] It is all too absurd
[00:53.586] You're so 'cross and abrupt
[00:55.878] But I don't say a word
[00:59.86] Or you're bound to
[00:59.928] Erupt
[01:01.742] Your peculiar moods
[01:04.322] I've experienced before
[01:07.86] So I'll pour another drink
[01:08.887] And quietly pace the floor
[01:14.261] It's a quarter to eight
[01:16.541] As we fretfully wait
[01:19.299] For your little black dress
[01:21.815] That was promised by six
[01:25.38] Is it just rotten luck
[01:27.225] When we're doing the town
[01:29.911] That the fates should conspire
[01:32.182] To let us mortals down
[01:36.904] I have seats for a show
[01:39.626] And it's opening night
[01:42.898] My shoes do not fit me
[01:45.247] And my suit is too tight
[01:47.820] And you sit there and curse
[01:50.521] An occasional curse
[01:53.307] And I've got a headache
[01:55.64] That's quickly getting worse
[02:01.53] Happy anniversary
[02:06.151] Happy anniversary
[02:25.876] They deliver your frock
[02:28.122] But you're still in distress
[02:31.71] It was past nine o clock
[02:33.679] When I helped you to dress
[02:36.222] I tried to do you up
[02:38.306] But it wasn't my day
[02:41.61] For then to fill my cup
[02:43.212] Your zipper stuck half way
[02:46.257] I got all in a sweat
[02:49.63] Over anxious and vexed
[02:51.469] Will I ever forget
[02:53.613] The thing that happened next
[02:56.268] Your dress just came apart
[02:58.376] With one terrible tear
[03:00.624] Your disappointed cries
[03:02.664] Were more than I could bear
[03:05.589] At eleven at last
[03:08.33] When we got into town
[03:10.29] We arrived at the show
[03:12.416] But the curtain was down
[03:15.40] I suggested a bite
[03:17.521] No no you wanted to walk
[03:20.302] You had no appetite
[03:23.93] And no desire to talk
[03:27.634] So we strolled for an hour
[03:30.901] And the evening was sweet
[03:33.997] And I bought you a flower
[03:37.282] From a man in
[03:37.970] The street
[03:40.126] And we kissed on the sidewalk
[03:43.143] Without reason or rhyme
[03:46.94] And we knew that our love
[03:48.292] Stronger than time
[03:54.921] Happy anniversary
[04:00.889] Happy anniversary
[04:05.721] Happy anniversary
