Lyrics for The Luckiest as interpreted by brick

The Luckiest Lyrics
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
And 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 a street
Where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside
As you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognise
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
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

I think Ben wanted this to be the most moving love song but there's some serious element of cheese to it; still beautiful if you let it be though....

This song is one that my boyfriend put on a CD he made for me (along with Stings- when we dance). I love this song, and agree with blueKitty2, it really does describe them undescriable feelings you feel! :)

If only a man would write a song like this for me... I'd be his love slave forever

This song, simply put, defines romance. I write poetry, I wish I could write half as good as this song, I worship whatever it was that inspired Ben to write this song.

*Sigh*... I can't wait to find a guy that would fit this song.. I agree with emilyeelizabeth too though. The song could also be about friends and how lucky that you are to have them in your life. The only part that doesn't jive is the verses about the old man and the women. Still it's a beautiful song about love and the power of it.

darkiris, this isn't a group - ben folds is a single person. ben folds 5 is the group, now defunct. just to clarify.

this song reminds of my parents and my lat paternal grandparents relationship. my grandpa died a year after my grandma and used to say he had to go and be with her, they had been married for almost 70 years! I hope i find that.

this is quite possibly the most beautifully written and sung song i have ever been exposed too. my sisters boyfriend just sang it for his senior solo and he was about to cry in the middle of it. im sorry but i dont know any other song that can move a grown man to tears other than this one. i agree with bluekitty2...this should absolutely get an award...gah im being cheesey.

the first time i heard this song i was in tears. and i listened to it over and over and over again. and everytime i hear it i tear up. i just wish i could write songs that made everyone that listens to it do what i did.

my doubts are very high that you can hear this song and not just positively fall in love with it.
