Lucky to Be Me Lyrics
[GABEY]
I used to think it might be fun to be
Anyone else but me
I thought that it would be a pleasant surprise
To wake up as a couple of other guys
But now that I've found you
I've changed my point of view
And now I wouldn't give a dime to be
Anyone else but me
What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me
What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I hoped you'd be
I'm so lucky to be me
I am simply thunderstruck
At this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too
I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other guy I'd rather be
I could laugh out loud
I'm so lucky to be me
[ENSEMBLE]
What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me
What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I'd hoped you'd be
I'm so lucky to be me
I am simply thunderstruck
At the change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too
[GABEY]
I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
[ENSEMBLE]
There's no other guy I'd rather be
[GABEY]
I could laugh out loud
[GABEY & ENSEMBLE]
I'm so lucky to be me
