Happy Anniversary-Charles Aznavour

[00:16.00]I've been ready for hours and I'm wearing my best [00:23.00]Ordered champagne and flowers and you're not even dressed [00:31.00]Tonight's a special night to remember with pride [00:39.00]These twenty happy years since you became my bride [00:49.00]It is all too absurd, you're so cross and abrupt [00:55.00]But I don't say a word or you're bound to erupt [00:06.00]Your peculiar moods I've experienced before [00:13.00]So I'll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor [00:23.00]It's a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait [00:31.00]For your little black dress, that was promised by six [00:40.00]Is it just rotten luck, when we're doing the town [00:47.00]That the fates should conspire, to let us mortals down [00:57.00]I have seats for a show and it's opening night [02:05.00]My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight [00:15.00]And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse [00:24.00]And I've got a headache that's quickly getting worse [00:37.00]Happy anniversary, happy anniversary [00:54.00]They deliver your frock, but you're still in distress [03:02.00]It was past nine o clock, when I helped you to dress [00:11.00]I tried to do you up, but, it wasn't my day [00:18.00]For then to fill my cup, your zipper stuck half way [00:28.00]I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed [00:36.00]Will I ever forget, the thing that happened next [00:44.00]Your dress just came apart, with one terrible tear [00:53.00]Your disappointed cries, were more than I could bear [04:02.00]At eleven at last, when we got into town [00:09.00]We arrived at the show, but the curtain was down [00:19.00]I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk [00:27.00]You had no appetite and no desire to talk [00:34.00]So we strolled for an hour, and the evening was sweet [00:45.00]And I bought you a flower, from a man in the street [00:52.00]And we kissed on the sidewalk, without reason or rhyme [05:01.00]And we knew that our love is must stronger than time [00:15.00]Happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy anniversary.
