HOW LUCKY YOU ARE
(Desmond O'Connor / Eddie Cassen)

Turner Layton
Also recorded by : Peggy Lee.


As you walk, as you talk with the one you love
Do you know just how lucky you are?
When you stroll hand in hand ‘neath the moon above
Does your heart sing how lucky you are?

There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true

When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are.

Love they say is just a gamble,
A great game of chance
Though we like to take the gamble
We may lose romance
Then for love we sigh as it passes by
That is why you’ll hear me saying

(Instrumental interlude)

There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true

When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are.
