Only the Lucky
 

Written & Sung: W. Egan; Guitar: L. Buckingham; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks, L. Buckingham
 

I had a dream just the other day
I dreamed that you would never be leavin' me
I still recall what you had to say
You said that you would always believe in me
Then I woke, as I always do
My dream was gone like darkness from the sky
Felt the pain and I saw the truth
Only the lucky in love survive

Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, you're just half alive
Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, I'd just as soon die

I gave my love and I gave my best
God only knows how good it felt to try
In the end, I'm alone again
'Cause only the lucky in love survive

Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, you're just half alive
Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, I'd just as soon die

Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, you're just half alive
Only the lucky in love survive
Without love, I'd just as soon die

Only the lucky and I will survive
Only the lucky and I will survive
I will

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This is a nice tune in the tradition of Glora Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (in theme only - this is no disco song!) I've noticed poor Walter has a lot of love-lorn songs. He even had to use Lindsey's girlfriend Carol as the girl on the back of one of his albums (either this one or Not Shy, I forget) because he didn't have a gal at the time! But don't feel too sorry for him, he's happily married now...guess he got lucky after all! And a little bit of trivia - that's Stevie's car he's leaning against on the album cover.
