Lyrics

[00:19.10] I don't get many things right the first time
[00:26.51] in fact, I am told that a lot
[00:34.18] Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles
[00:39.98] and falls brought me here
[00:51.09] And where was I before the day
[00:54.94] that I first saw your lovely face
[00:59.10] now I see it every day
[01:05.21] And I know
[01:10.00] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
[01:35.91] What if I'd been born fifty years before you
[01:43.03] in a house on the street
[01:47.35] where you lived
[01:51.00] Maybe I'd be outside
[01:54.10] as you passed on your bike
[01:57.85] Would I know?
[02:07.46] And in a wide sea of eyes
[02:11.06] I see one pair that I recognize
[02:21.32] And I know
[02:25.74] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
[02:43.01] I love you more then I have
[02:47.28] ever found the way to say
[02:51.64] to you
[02:58.19] Next door there's an old man
[03:02.58] who lived to his nineties and one day
[03:07.68] passed away in his sleep
[03:13.34] And his wife,
[03:16.30] she stayed for a couple of days
[03:20.18] and passed away
[03:30.55] I'm sorry I know that's a strange way
[03:34.66] to tell you that I know we belong
[03:44.42] That I know
[03:49.89] That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest
