However, I guess it can also be a funny song- Millie laughs hysterically when I sing it to her. Of course, that's probably just my voice that's causing the laughs.
"The Luckiest" by Ben Folds- full lyrics
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 everyday
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 a 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

This is SO beautiful! The piano really tugs at me, for sure. And I can see how the vocals alone could be hilarious to a baby; its kinda sing-song-y (I know that's not a real word) the way the notes go up and down. There's a song like that from church, and if I sing it my little Bobblehead gets all giggly.
Such a sweet song. I love Ben Folds for studying, and he's been severely neglected on my iTunes lately.
Also- glad you survived the monsoon weather, it was really scary out there for awhile!
Ben folds is my favorite recording/live artist ever. I have loved him for about 8 years..i saw him in concert about 2 years ago and it was just amazing. This song is beautiful...Great choice :)

Very Pretty- I had never heard it before- thanks for sharing.
I love this song :) Mr. H and I have danced to this many a day. And there are actually TWO of my blog posts named the luckiest. Mr. H thinks it's written for him. He's a silly one!
And I can only imagine Millie. That is too cute!!!
This song always gets me all choked up. It's beautiful.
