Have you ever seen a heart as it lays dyin',
Or what's left of it's life slips away?
Well any tears that get shed ain't worth cryin',
'Cause I've seen plenty I'm lucky that way.

Have you ever heard a voice start to moanin',
After despair's choked its last words away?
Well, any worse sound defies your ears even knowin',
And, Lord, I've heard plenty I'm lucky that way.

So wrap your warm arms around me,
And let our weak hands delight love's sad face.

Then press your soft lips against me,
And let the first bets on new love be made.

Have you ever watched a couple where a woman stands cryin',
While begging the other to please stay?
The awful truth is, it ain't the worth the cryin',
Lord, I've watched plenty: I'm lucky that way.
Lord, I've watched plenty: I'm lucky that way.
