Lyrics - The Luckiest by 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, 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 fifty 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 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
