The Luckiest

+4  +5   -4  -5 -4   +5    +6   +5   -5    -6
 I don't get ma-ny things right the first time;
+6  +6  -7 +7  +6   -5 +5  -4
in fact, I am told that a lot;
+5 +5  -4  +5  -5   -4    +5
now I know all the wrong turns, 
-5   +5   -5  +6   -6
the stum-bles and falls
   -7   +7  +6
brought me here.
+7    +7  +7 -8 +7  -7  -6  +7
And where was I be-fore the day
 +7 +7  +7   -8   +7   -7  +7  -7
that I first saw your love-ly face?
-6 +6 -7  -7 -6  +6 -6
Now I see it eve-ry-day

-5 +5  -4    -7 +7 -7
And I know, that I am,
+7 +6 -6 +5  +5   +5 -4 +4
 I am, I am, the luck-i-est.

+5   -4  +4  +5   -4  +5 +5  +6   +5  -5  -6
What if I'd been born fifty years be-fore you
-7 +7   +6  -7 +7   +6    -5   +5   -4
in  a house on  a street where you lived?
+5  -5 -4  +5 -5   -4  +5 -5   +5    -5  +6   -6
May-be I'd be out-side as you passed on your bike…
 -7  +7  +6
Would I know?
+7  +7 +7  -8   -7  -6  +7
And in  a white sea of eyes,
+7 +7  -8   -7   +7 -7 -6 +6   -7
 I see one pair that I re-cog-nize.

-5 +5  -4    -7 +7 -7
And I know, that I am,
+7 +6 -6 +5  +5   +5 -4 +4
 I am, I am, the luck-i-est.

+7  +7  +7   +7   +7 -7  +7
 I love you more than I have 
-7 +7   -8 +7 -7  +7 +7  +6 -6
ev-er found a way to say to you.

 +5   +4    +5    +4  -4 -5
Next door there's an old man 
-4  +5   +6 +5   -5   -6
who lived to his nine-ties
-6  +7  +6    -7  +7 +6  -5 +5   -4
and one day passed a-way in his sleep.
+5  +5   -4   -5   -4    +5 -5  +5  -5 +6  -6
And his wife; she stayed for a coup-le of days,
-6    -7  +7 +6
and passed a-way.

+7  +7  +7 -8  +7   -7   -6   +7    +7  
I'm sor-ry, I know that's a strange way
+7  -8  +7   -7 +7  -7  -6 +6  -7
to tell you that I know we be-long

-5 +5  -4    -7 +7 -7
And I know, that I am,
+7 +6 -6 +5  +5   +5 -4 +4
 I am, I am, the luck-i-est.
