lyrics

THE LUCKY ONE

Ever since first grade, held my breath and prayed
To be the lucky one
with the golden hair and the skin so fair
Never left to sit at home

I tried everything I could
Crossed my fingers, knocked on wood
Just to feel true love’s sun shining on me
And be the lucky one

Then you came my way, hip, hip, hooray
Finally my day had come
Walking on a cloud, feeling awfully proud
Look at me the lucky one

I tried everything I could
Crossed my fingers, knocked on wood
Just to keep true love’s sun shining on me
And be the lucky one

Then you went away
And I cried for days
But through the tears, the clouds were cleared
Revealing all the joy around me

I tried everything I could
Crossed my fingers, knocked on wood
And I began to feel all of the love under the sun
Inside of me, the lucky one

All the love inside of me, the lucky one
