0:17I don't get many things right the first time
0:24In fact I am told that a lot
0:31Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles
0:37And falls brought me here
0:48And where was I before the day
0:51That I first saw your lovely face
0:55Now I see it every day
1:01And I know
1:06That I am I am I am the luckiest
1:28What if I'd been born fifty years before you
1:35In a house on the street
1:39Where you lived
1:42Maybe I'd be outside
1:46As you passed on your bike
1:49Would I know
1:58And in a wide sea of eyes
2:02I see one pair that I recognize
2:12And I know
2:16That I am I am I am the luckiest
2:31I love you more then I have
2:36Ever found the way to say
2:40To you
2:45Next door there's an old man
2:50Who lived to his nineties and one day
2:54Passed away in his sleep
3:00And his wife she stayed for a couple of days
3:07And passed away
3:16I'm sorry I know that's a strange way
3:21To tell you that I know we belong
3:30That I know
3:33That I am I am I am 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 every day 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 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 That I am I am I am the luckiest I love you more then I have Ever found the 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 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
