The Luckiest

Lyrics

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, the stumbles and falls
 Brought me here
 ♪
 And where was I 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 years before you
 In a house on a street where you lived?
 Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
 Would I know?
 ♪
 And in a white sea of eyes
 I see one pair that I 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
 
 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, the stumbles and falls
 Brought me here
 ♪
 And where was I 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 years before you
