[Verse]

The first time I met her, she walked right up to me,

An' said: "You're who I've wanted to find."

There was a man she had seen in her dreams,

An' it was me.

She said: "I can't believe it 'cause I've never been in here,

"An' I've passed this place so many times."

It was her night to find destiny,

An' it was me.

An' we danced every song that they played,

An' talked until closin' time.

The closer I held her,

The more I knew her destiny wasn't that far from mine.

Then I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar

Lookin' back when I looked in her eyes.

The happiest man I'd ever seen,

An' it was me.

An' we danced every song that they played,

An' talked until closin' time.

The closer I held her,

The more I knew her destiny wasn't that far from mine.

She wasn't lookin', an' I wasn't lookin':

Ain't it funny that that's when love is found.

She still calls it her lucky night:

Em A

Yeah, someone was lucky, she's right,

A D

But it was me.

A D

Ah, it was me.
