The Luckiest

We had a tough time finding just the right song for our first dance at the wedding. It had to be perfect. We have never broken up and gotten back together....and ironically most love songs talk about all of these trials and tribulations. It just isn't us. I am a huge Ben Folds Five fan...we agreed on the sweetest song by them....called "The Luckiest". Here are the 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, 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 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 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
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
