The Luckiest Lyrics - 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 the street where you live? 

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 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
