On My Happy Cloud

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 times,

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

the luckiest



What if I'd been born 50 years before you

in a house on the street where you lived?

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
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 90s 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

But I know...

That I am, I am
the luckiest.

("The Luckiest" by the great Ben Folds. A BEAUTIFUL song. Listen to it.)



This weather, this beautiful, warm, fantastic weather...it's killing me. It's bringing back memories that I so long for. I want to reach out and grab them and hold onto them forever. I can't believe I'm where I am. That I've gotten this far. And weather like this....well, it always does this to me.
