Remember Ricky told Diane

When he slipped that gold ring on her hand

It was there to stay

Now the attorneys are on the phone

Dividing up everything they own

They're going separate ways

So many hearts get wasted

In those Ricky and Diane cases

And I hate to see good love die young

Oh we're two of the lucky ones

Love will save a few then bury some

The heart grows fond or the heart goes numb

I knew from the first star we wished upon

We're two of the lucky ones

Now just like Ricky and Diane

Love could have slipped right through our hands

But we kept holding on

Call it good fortune or you call it fate

But the luck we've had we've had to make

By working hard at home

So many hearts get wasted

When they stop bending they start breaking

The longer we love the more we learn

Oh we're two of the lucky ones

Love will save a few then bury some

The heart grows fond or the heart goes numb

I knew from the first star we wished upon

We're two of the lucky ones

Girl we're two of the lucky ones
