Ben Folds Five - The Luckiest

I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact I am told
That I lie
Now I know all the wrong turns and 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’d been born
Fifteen years 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 in the wide see of eyes
I see while in 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 was 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
