The Luckiest

do you ever hear a song and immediately get humorisly upset because you wish you had written it? well, that's me on this song. it's a few years old, and ever since the first time i heard it, i wanted what ben folds is describing in this song...the cool thing is, now i have it! it's the perfect defination in my mind of what love is, and what it means to be in love!

this song describes my love life very well. for years and years, i had wrong turns...i stumbled and fell...but all those things happened for a reason. they led me to my wonderful wife, katy. she is the exact thing i needed in my life...only i didn't realize it until i found it! thanks, babe, for being perfect for me. i love you more than i have ever found a way to say to you!




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
