Letra de
The Luckiest

La canción The Luckiest de Ben Folds se creó como parte del álbum Rockin the Suburbs, lanzado en el año 2001. Inspirada por su esposa en ese momento, Frally Hynes, la canción expresa profundos sentimientos de amor y contemplación sobre ser el más afortunado por haber encontrado a su alma gemela. La letra dialoga con ideales de amor destinado y el concepto de almas gemelas encontrándose a través del tiempo y las circunstancias.

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 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 the street where you live
Maybe I'd be outside
As you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide 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
