"The Luckiest" by Charlotte Littlehales

 

"What if I'd been born fifty years before you in a house on a street where you lived?"

Little Dell Music Studio instructor Charlotte Littlehales and I missed being contemporaries by a decade, as the apartment that I shared in Philly overlooked University of the Arts, where she studied.

Here is her rendition of "The Luckiest," the 2001 ballad from suburb rocker Ben Folds.

It's dedicated to Tom, and if the song isn't enough of a tear jerker, read the video description.  I'm not sobbing, you are.

Sixteen years of marriage later, and I'm still the luckiest.
