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'd been born 50 years before you
in a house on the street where you live? Maybe I'd be outside
as you pass on your bike would I know?
And in a wide sea of eyes, I'd see one pair that I'd recognize
And I'd 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
