“The Luckiest” Lyrics - Ben Folds

Lyrics

“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 every day

And I know


That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest


What if I had been born fifty years before you

In a house on the street

Where you lived

Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike. Would I know?

And in a wide 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 then have

Ever found the way to say

To you


Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties 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
