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 gal I'd rather be!
I could laugh out loud,
I'm so lucky to be me!

I'm so lucky, I can see,
So lucky to be me!

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 gal I'd rather be!
I could laugh out loud,
Lucky to be me!
Lucky to be me!
Lucky to be me!
