HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Twenty Years of Love and Laughter: A Happy Anniversary Celebration
Lyrics
I've been ready for hours and I'm wearing my best
I am fully prepared and dressed in my best attire.
Ordered champagne and flowers and you're not even dressed
I've arranged champagne and flowers, but you're not ready yet.
Tonight's a special night to remember with pride
Tonight is a special night to celebrate the twenty happy years since we got married.
These twenty happy years since you became my bride
Reflecting on the absurdity of the situation; you're upset, and I choose to remain silent to avoid conflict.
It is all too absurd, you're so cross and abrupt
Your unpredictable moods are familiar to me.
So I don't say a word or you're bound to erupt
I decide not to speak to prevent an outburst from you.
Your peculiar moods I've experienced before
I've encountered your peculiar moods in the past, so I pour another drink and pace quietly.
So I'll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
Despite the tension, I'll patiently wait for you.
It's a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait
It's almost eight o'clock, and we anxiously wait for your promised attire.
For your little black dress, that was promised by six
Your little black dress, promised by six, is delayed.
Is it just rotten luck, when we're doing the town
Unfortunate circumstances arise when we plan a night out.
That the fates should conspire, to let us mortals down
Fate seems to conspire against our plans.
I have seats for a show and it's opening night
I have tickets for a show, but my attire is uncomfortable.
My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
You express frustration, and I have a worsening headache.
And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse
And I've got a headache that's quickly getting worse
Expressing wishes for a happy anniversary despite the challenges.
Happy anniversary, happy anniversary
The dress arrives late, and I help you get dressed after nine o'clock.
They deliver your frock, but you're still in distress
Feeling anxious, I try to fix the zipper, but it gets stuck halfway.
It was past nine o clock, when I helped you to dress
I become stressed, and your dress tears apart, causing disappointment.
I tried to do you up, but, it wasn't my day
Recalling the unfortunate incident and the distressed cries.
For then to fill my cup, your zipper stuck half way
Finally reaching the town at eleven, we find the show has ended.
I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
Suggesting a meal, but you prefer a walk with no appetite or desire to talk.
Will I, will I, will I, will I
We stroll for an hour, and I buy you a flower from a street vendor.
Will I ever forget, the thing that happened next
We share a kiss on the sidewalk, realizing our love transcends time.
Your dress just came apart, with one terrible tear
Repeating wishes for a happy anniversary, emphasizing the enduring strength of our love.
Your disappointed cries, were more than I could bear
Reiterating wishes for a happy anniversary.
At eleven at last, when we got into town
Continuing to express joy and celebration for the anniversary.
We arrived at the show, but the curtain was down
I suggested a bite
-No, no you wanted to walk
-You had no appetite and no desire to talk
-So we strolled for an hour, and the evening was sweet
-And I bought you a flower, from a man in a street
-We kissed on the sidewalk, without reason or rhyme
-And we knew that our love is much stronger than time
-Happy anniversary
-Happy anniversary
-Happy anniversary
