A Very Short Play List

"Lucky" Official Video With Colbie Caillat


Usually by now I'm ready to begin assembling my annual autobiographical cd, but this year there's only one song that's made the cut. Some of Jason Mraz's songs grate on me, but not this one. The lyrics actually makes me a bit weepy, because they describe the feeling of elation that comes with having the deepest kind of love. Not a day goes by that I don't meditate on how lucky we are. And the Island vibe means that it perfectly describes this moment in my life, just as a song on an autobiographical cd should. I couldn't resist including the lyrics for those of you who don't have patience for the video.

Do you hear me?
Talking to you
Across the water
Across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets harder

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again


They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
