( The ) Second Time

 

It's the second time 

I know I've seen you here before 

It's no coincidence I'm sure 

that once again my spirits soar

and the second time is always harder than the first

forgetting lines that I rehearsed, 

I fear the best, I fear the worst 

Love is great, it has ambition 

unafraid makes no condition 

when I say how much I love you 

you'll feel I've known you 

a thousand years . . .

 

< instrumental break >

 

And the second time is always harder than the first

forgetting lines that I rehearsed, 

I fear the best, I fear the worst 

 

Love is great, it has ambition 

unafraid makes no condition 

when I say how much I love you 

you'll feel I've known you 

a thousand years . . .

 

. . . a thousand years . . .
