Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you,
So lucky to be
The one you long to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know,
You've kept my love so young, so new;
And time after time,
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Time after time
Repeatedly throughout time
I tell myself that I'm
Reminding myself that I am
So lucky to be loving you
Fortunate to have the privilege of loving you
So lucky to be
Fortunate to exist as
The one you long to see
The person you eagerly anticipate seeing
In the evening when the day is through
At night when the day has ended
I only know what I know
I am aware of only what I am aware of
The passing years will show
Time will reveal the truth
You've kept my love so young, so new
You have maintained my love in a fresh and youthful state
And time after time
Repeatedly over time
You'll hear me say that I'm
I will express that I am
So lucky to be loving you
Fortunate to have the privilege of loving you
