Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
And stumbles and falls
That brought me here
[Verse 2]
(And where was I) And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day
[Verse 3]
And I know that I am
I am
I am the luckiest
[Verse 4]
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know? (Would I know?) would I know? (Would I know?)
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize (That I recognize)
[Verse 5]
And I know
That I am
I am
I am the luckiest
[Verse 6]
And I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Say to you
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
And I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way
To tell you that I know we belong
That I know
[Verse 9]
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
