The Luckiest

Ben Folds · The Best Imitation Of Myself - A Retrospective [2011]

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 everyday

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 live?

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 than I have ever found a 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

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



That I know

That I am

I am, I am

The luckiest
