Lucky Us
Lucky Us: A Musical Journey Through Time and Love
Lyrics
flyin' high and wide, sinkin' slow
Flying high and wide, sinking slow
when I ran into you thirty years ago
Encountering the person thirty years ago
and you were all a young woman could be to me
Person was everything a young woman could be
I had to get home there were things left to do
Had to get home with things left to do
I had hearts left to break, things left to lose
Still had hearts to break and things to lose
and I let you wait outside to freeze
Let the person wait outside in the cold
and a lifetime later I was back on my own
Years later, back on his own with diminished thrills
the thrills were gone, my kids were all grown
Kids grown, questioning the direction of life
and I wondered where I was goin' with my life
Contemplating the journey ahead
with my life
Repetition for emphasis
flying home from the desert one night in a daze
Returning from the desert, dazed and encountering the person
you came out of nowhere with questions in your face
The person appears unexpectedly with questions
and I knew right then that you would be my wife
Realizing that the person will be his wife
and the wheels go round and the band gets loud
Describing a lively and celebratory atmosphere
you can hear the people cheer
Crowd cheering as the wheels turn
I got down on my knees in the middle of the road
Expressing a memorable moment on the road
there'll never be another day like that
No other day like that
if I live a hundred years
A special moment if he lives a hundred years
I don't hear anybody else talking
No attention to others, focused on the person
you are music to my ears
The person is music to his ears
lucky us
Expressing gratitude for their luck
lucky me, lucky you
Repetition of luck and inclusion of "me" and "you"
lucky us
Reinforcing the theme of luck and togetherness
lucky us
Repetition of the theme of luck and togetherness
lucky me, lucky you
Repetition of luck with emphasis on "me" and "you"
lucky us
More emphasis on the theme of luck and togetherness
and all I want to do is love you
Expressing the desire to love the person
all i want to do is be good to you, baby
Wanting to be good to the person
I'm never gonna let you go again, no no
Determined not to let the person go again
and all I want to do, all I want to do
Repetition of the desire to love and hold the person
is love you, and hold you
Repeating the commitment to never let the person go
I'm never gonna let you
never gonna let you get away again
Reiteration of the commitment to never let the person get away
lucky us
Repetition of the theme of luck and togetherness
lucky us
Continued emphasis on luck and togetherness
lucky us
Repeating the theme of luck and togetherness
lucky us
Final repetition of the theme of luck and togetherness
