Two Of The Lucky Ones

That gold ring on her hand it was there to stay
Now the attorneys are on the phone
Dividingup everything they own
They're going separate ways.
So many hearts get wasted
In those Ricky and Diane cases
And I hate to see good love die young.
Oh we're two of the lucky ones
Love will save a few then bury some
The heart grows fond or the heart goes numb
I knew from the first star we wished upon
We're two of the lucky ones.
Now just like Ricky and Diane
Love could have slipped right throught our hands
But we kept holding on
Call it good fortune or you call it fate
But the luck we've had we've had to make
By working hard at home.
So many hearts get wasted
When they stop bending they start breaking
The longer we love the more we learn.
Oh we're two of the lucky ones
Love will save a few then bury some
The heart grows fond or the heart goes numb
I knew from the first star we wished upon
We're two of the lucky ones.
Girl we're two of the lucky ones...
Two Of The Lucky Ones
Hazell Dean's 'Two Of The Lucky Ones' stands as a defining track from her 1970s solo career, showcasing her signature blend of soulful R&B and pop sensibilities. Recorded during the height of her fame following her work with The Sweet, the song features Dean's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by a blend of power and vulnerability that became a hallmark of her discography. As a standalone release, it exemplifies the smooth, romantic ballad style she brought to the forefront of British pop music in the early 1970s. The recording captures the era's lush production aesthetics, focusing on emotional resonance and melodic structure rather than complex arrangements. It remains a staple of her catalog, often cited alongside other major singles like 'I'm A Fool Too' and 'What Dreams Are Made Of' as key examples of her ability to craft memorable, radio-friendly anthems that bridged the gap between soul and mainstream pop.
