The Luckiest - Ben Folds Five

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.
