So Lucky (single) (2023). Lyrics by Dan Zlotnick

​

I’ve lost a step in my older age 
It happened much too soon 
When you bury friends and you bury pain 
Lonely flowers bloom 

But I’m sitting here with the lunch that you fixed  
Trembling hands and all 
Who in a past life did I have to trick 
To let me walk these halls?

What did I do to deserve this with you? 
How did I get so lucky?

The grandkids don’t need my garden no more
All the veggies I’ve grown
They’re in plastic bags now at the grocery store 
And the topsoil’s paved with stone

But I’m sitting here with my perfect grilled cheese
And your sunflower eyes to my right
They fill up this home like an open door breeze
Your kiss is the afternoon light

What did I do to deserve this with you?
How did I get so lucky? 

I throw out my plate and my plastic knife
The movers are almost done
Of everything I ever thought mattered in life
You were the only one

So I’m standing here with tomorrow in view 
Your hand nestled in mine
You stole my heart but I got yours too
So I ask all the time

What did I do to deserve this with you?
How did I get so lucky? So lucky
