Ben Folds: The Luckiest - VOCES8

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
