The Luckiest

For You

Ben Folds Five - The 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 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 nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
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

That I know;

That I am
I am, I am
The luckiest


I remember when I first heard this song. Matt gave it to me one time, and I didn't listen to it heaps; I listened to it, but it wasn't a song that was always on winamp. It used to always touch me, probably because I always had someone special to relate it to. I don't know what drew me to download it again and listen to it tonight, but I did. And I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to sing this song to you, Sammy.

I hope I can get the chance to in May.

I know that there is no such thing as luck, only God; but the romantic feeling of being 'the luckiest man alive' because I have you to love is just so amazing. I feel so blessed to have you in my life, and I can't wait for the future. Our future.

I love you.
