I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
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 every day
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I’d been born fifty 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 white 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 nineties
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

Previously, in the Octopus wedding…
Beautiful song, Octo. Perfect choice… you and the mister look so happy!
LOVE it - this is our song too! Can’t wait…question though Mrs. Ccto, this song is kind of long (just over 4 mins)…did it feel awkward at all? We do not have anything choreographed, so I am a little concerned we will look like 8th graders dancing for an eternity. Did you consider editing the song at all? Or should we just play the whole thing and relish the moment?
Beautiful song, and beautiful photos. The love between you two is just so damn obvious! 
Loooove this song! My fiance and I both love Ben Folds, but he doesn’t want this to be our song. I’m bummed. You look beautiful and just so beautifully happy!
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Love that you used it for your first dance
Whew, Octo. I’m a little teary over here. Thanks for sharing these intimate moments and your beautiful pictures. I’m going to find this song so I can listen to it, but I loved reading the lyrics.
i adore ben folds! great choice for a first dance song. what gorgeous photos
AWWWWWWWWWW! Also: A+ for the return of the giant balls of awesomeness.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah FH and I were just talking about how we should make this our first dance song this weekend when I went to visit him! I second 808mjm202’s question - did it feel too long? We’re probably going to do the 8th grade shuffle as well lol
Such lovely words and a great song! GREAT choice for your 1st dance. Your pics are soo beautiful!
Awww…those pictures are just beautiful! I love the lyrics too.
I adore this. That first photo, and the way he’s looking at you… beautiful.
