Songtext Luckiest Ben Folds

Luckiest

i don't get many things right the first time

in fact, i am told that a lot

now i know all the wrong times,

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...



(Chorus)

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 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...



(Chorus)



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 90s 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...



(Chorus)
