Lyrics

[00:17.52] I don't get many things right the first time,
[00:24.95] in fact, I am told that a lot
[00:30.52]
[00:32.08] Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles,
[00:37.28] and falls brought me here
[00:40.53]
[00:48.53] And where was I before the day
[00:52.03] that I first saw your lovely face,
[00:55.28]
[00:56.34] now I see it every day
[00:59.22]
[01:02.34] And I know
[01:05.47]
[01:06.47] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
[01:19.22]
[01:28.66] What if I'd been born fifty years before you
[01:35.47] in a house on the street
[01:38.72]
[01:39.47] where you lived
[01:41.97]
[01:43.22] Maybe I'd be outside
[01:46.53] as you passed on your bike.
[01:50.22] Would I know?
[01:51.70]
[01:59.32] And in a wide sea of eyes
[02:03.26] I see one pair that I recognize
[02:08.39]
[02:13.14] And I know
[02:16.14]
[02:16.70] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
[02:29.45]
[02:32.39] I love you more then I have
[02:35.82]
[02:36.45] ever found the way to say
[02:39.89]
[02:40.64] to you
[02:41.51]
[02:46.14] Next door there's an old man
[02:50.20] who lived to his nineties and one day
[02:54.57]
[02:55.26] passed away in his sleep,
[02:58.26]
[03:00.89] and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days,
[03:07.70] and passed away
[03:09.20]
[03:16.76] I'm sorry I know that's a strange way
[03:21.45] to tell you that I know we belong,
[03:27.47]
[03:30.60] That I know
[03:33.35]
[03:34.29] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
[03:46.91]
