Turn in the low light to face me
Our bodies still wet from the creek
Hair falling thick on my pillow
Your curls in my palm black as ink
Holding my breath in this moment
The weight of it honest and true
'Cause darling, I've never been lucky
But somehow I've made it to you

Another year nearing at midnight
The bangs and the cheers in the smoke
A new world for us, dear, is dawning
With all the good days that we’re owed
You smile and you say come and kiss me
You're gripping my hands as they shake
And for the first time I count myself lucky
To live out a dream while I wake

(Everybody, here we go!)
Oh, you'll be the one I call lover
And I’ll be the one at your side
We'll make our meals in the evening
And pay the old landlord on time
Now walk with me out in the garden
Turn your face to the sun
Oh, could you believe we're so lucky
To live like we’ve already won (wooh!)

La-da-dah, la-da-da dei-dah
La-da-dah, la-da-da dei-dah
La-da-dah, la-da-da dei-dah
(So lucky to live)
La-da-dah, la-da-da dei-dah

When the trees have gone bare in the winter
And the ink in your curls has run grey
I'll smile and I'll say come and kiss me
Soft as the end of the day
'Cause somehow we made it out sweetly
Sure as sun and snow
They say life is long if you’re lucky
And darling, I'd say we would know

They say life is long if you’re lucky
My darling, I'd say we would know
