A phone call to an old friend.

lyrics

Happy Anniversary

Would've written you an letter
But I couldn’t find your current address
Just moved to a new apartment
Everything's still a mess
I know you told me not to call you
But that was such a long time ago
I’m glad your husband didn’t answer
Be sure to tell him hello

Remember what today is?

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary to us

Yeah I see your name in the paper
Every once in a while
Helping out some drug abuser
& I can't help but smile
Wasn't it you who was with us
That Saturday night?
At that crazy Lithuanian party,
You were high as a kite
And the cops came in
But I won't let on about your past
Whatever happened,
We probably grew up too fast

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary to us

You're probably thinkin’ I’ve been drinkin’
Well I haven't, not much
You’re probably wondering why I bothered
To get back in touch
I just called you to say
I hope you’re doing ok
Don't read too much
Into anything that I say
But I still remember
When every song that I wrote
Was for you
And I want you to know
Every word that I said
Still rings true

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary to us
Happy anniversary to us
