Lady Luck
Swift Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lady luck, she is free
But I wish sometimes that lady luck
She would find some time to spend with me
Why do I worry?
Why do I fear?
It's just the beginning
I look around
And I don't feel like myself
Tell me please, tell me please
Is it my mind or is it my health?
Lady luck, she is lovely
Lady luck, she is free
But I wish sometimes that lady luck
She would find some time to spend with me
No need to worry
There is no need to fear
It's just the beginning
Though the end is near
Now sing it to me
Lady luck, she is lovely
Lady luck, she is free
But I wish sometimes that lady luck
She would find some time to spend with me

I saw him perform this song without ever hearing him before. I was completely floored by that performance maybe more than anyone I have ever heard for the first time.

Weird how over a decade ago, I dated one of his daughters in elementary and partially through middle school. I moved away and we stopped talking not much soon after.
I knew her dad was a musician, but never realized how prolific and talented he was until a few hours ago. Sad to see he died a few years ago. My heart goes out to his family and his fan base ♥️
