The night I first saw you, I knew I was done
With your smile my one guarantee
That this kind of love would be second to none
Some folks just get lucky, why not me?

Then I lost you to fate, those two years did divide
cnd watched as my dreams died to dust
But out of the ashes you returned to my side
Some folks just get lucky, why not us?

Some folks find love when they're too young to know
With their hometown sweetheart to old age they'll grow

How I wished we would share life until it was done
That the old laws of time we'd defy
But the deeper I dove in, the faster you'd run
Some folks just get lucky, why didn't I?

Some hearts feel lucky to love someone true
But yours wasn't ready to be loved anew

I guess that he hurt you too gravely to heal
Your scars were concealed perfectly
But I chose you inspite of what those wounds revealed
Some folks just get lucky, why didn't we?

I'd hold you forever, and never be done
But chance chose to run out finally
So I'll hold on to hope someday we'd overcome
Some folks just get lucky, couldn't we?
Some folks just get lucky, why can't we?
