Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day
And I know
[Chorus]
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
[Verse 2]
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?
[PreChorus]
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
[Chorus]
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
[Bridge]
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that
I know we belong
That I know
[Chorus]
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
