Ben Folds - The Luckiest arr. for Clarinet Solo/Choir

The Shenandoah Conservatory Clarinet Choir with Professor Garrick Zoeter, performs John Romano's arrangement of Jim Clements's arrangement for VOCES 8 of Ben Folds's The Luckiest.

December 9th, 2023 performance - Grace Lutheran Church, Winchester, Virginia

After hearing the wonderful arrangement made for VOCES 8 I thought why not put this version on the clarinet!

We hope you will enjoy it!

Lyrics

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born 50 years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
