The Luckiest — текст песни (ben folds five)

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 ands tumbles and falls
brought me here.
now it was right 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 50 year 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 then i`d see your eyes,
i`d see one pair that i`d 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 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.
