I don't get ma-ny things right the first time;
in fact, I am told that a lot;
now I know all the wrong turns,
the stum-bles and falls
brought me here.
And where was I be-fore the day
that I first saw your love-ly face?
Now I see it eve-ry-day
And I know, that I am,
I am, I am, the luck-i-est.
What if I'd been born fifty years be-fore you
in a house on a street where you lived?
May-be I'd be out-side as you passed on your bike…
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes,
I see one pair that I re-cog-nize.
And I know, that I am,
I am, I am, the luck-i-est.
I love you more than I have
ev-er found a way to say to you.
Next door there's an old man
who lived to his nine-ties
and one day passed a-way in his sleep.
And his wife; she stayed for a coup-le of days,
and passed a-way.
I'm sor-ry, I know that's a strange way
to tell you that I know we be-long
And I know, that I am,
I am, I am, the luck-i-est.
