i don't normally pay attention to lyrics, much less marshy romantic song lyrics.

but shoof brought my attention to this one.

leader singer ben from ben folds supposedly wrote it for his wife. how cute.

i'm putting it up cos i do like ben folds. and i had liked ben folds five. great band(s).

this is a nice song too. but i don't think geocities allows me to store mp3s to put up here.

"The Luckiest"

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

Hmm.. no one's ever told me he's 'the luckiest' to have meeeeeeeeee.

why?!

(well ,okay,frankly, i don't really want to know the answer :P )
