Hey Dave,










"I love you oh so well
Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow
I love you oh so well
Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell
Love you oh so well"
(DMB "Oh")

"i don't get many things right the first time

in fact, i am told that a lot

now i know all the wrong times,

the stumbles and falls

brought me here

and where was i before the day

that i first saw your lovely face?

now i see it everyday, and i know...

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest

what if i'd been born 50 years before you

in a house on the street where you lived

maybe i'd be outside as you passed on your bike

would i know?

and in a wide sea of eyes

i see one pair that i recognize

and i know...

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest

i love you more than i have ever found a way to say to you

next door there's an old man,

who lived to his 90s and one day

passed away in his sleep

and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days

and passed away

i'm sorry i know that's a strange way to tell you that i know we belong

that i know...

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest"

(Ben Folds Five "The Luckiest")
