Song: Lucky -- Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat

Here's a duet (that is a song two people sing) that comes with a name like mine, "Lucky" by Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat.

I picked this song because 2 of my best friends, Tiffany and William, married each other last year's Christmas day, 2 other best female friends Janet and Garbo, and one of my very best university classmates David, got married in the past 3 months and I want to dedicate this song to them, wishing them the sweetest in many years to come.

Another reason is that this song tells just exactly how I believe a perfect couple should be -- they should both enjoy being each other's best friends and feel lucky to have each other, to be in love with each other.

Such love is precious and ought to be treasured since it is not something that everyone is lucky enough to possess......

"The video was shot in the Czech Republic and the island of Kauai in Hawaii and was released January 16, 2009," ^[1] which meets the line of lyrics about "coming home" as Czech Republic is the root of Mraz.

Yet another simple yet beautiful song for listening practice!!!

Here's the official video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acvIVA9-FMQ

I can't embed it because it is disabled, but there is another I can embed.

Enjoy! And may all lovers find their true love!!!

Lyrics:

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now


I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday


Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
