  • 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 Writer/s: BEN FOLDS
