The luckiest

The luckiest - Ben Folds

I don't get many things right the first time,

in fact i am told that a lot.

now i know all the wrong turns ands tumbles and falls

brought me here.

now it was right before the day that i first saw your lovely face.

now i see it everyday

and i know

that i am,

i am,

i am the luckiest.

what if i'd been born 50 year before you

in a house on the street where you live?

maybe i'd be outside as you passed on your bike,

would i know?

and then i'd see your eyes,

i'd see one pair that i'd recognize.

and i know

that i am,

i am,

i am the luckiest.

i love you more

than i have ever found a way to say

to you.

next door there's an old man

who lived to his 90's

and one day passed away in his sleep

and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days

and passed away.

i'm sorry i know that's a strange way

to tell you that i know we belong.

that i know

that i am,

i am,

i am the luckiest.
