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 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

　Lucky we're in love every way

　Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

　Lucky to be coming home someday

　Ooohh oooh oooh ooh ooh

Why you likes the song?

In fact, come into contact with this song was an accident, because I am not concerned about the news of English songs. Therefore, almost all knew the English song that is known from Twitch broadcaster*.
　
At that time, I was listening to a favorite Twitch broadcaster group, LNG Workshop. Their members, Wannasinging and Niaws, were chanting the song, Lucky. The moment I thought this song was very brisk rhythm, plus I liked the two Twitch broadcasters singing. So after a few days, I went to YouTube to found the day of the video record file. Since then I fell in love with this song!

* "Twitch broadcaster" means Twitch實況主
