He gets to hold her
 The way I know I never will again
 They're dancing close
 With her head on his shoulder
 Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

 They don't see me standing in these shadows
 She don't know how bad my heart still aches
 He's holding on to everything I let go
 Sure is making good off my mistakes

 He's got lucky arms
 He gets to hold her
 The way I know I never will again
 They're dancing close
 With her head on his shoulder
 Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

 Before too long the music will stop playing
 He'll take her hand and then he'll take her home
 I can just imagine what he's saying
 The way he's smiling I can tell he knows

 He's got lucky arms
 He gets to hold her
 The way I know I never will again
 They're dancing close
 With her head on his shoulder
 Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

 Lucky arms, lucky heart
 He oughta thank his lucky stars
 Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him
