(Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen)

 

Love is lovelier 

The second time around

Just as wonderful

With both feet on the ground

It's that second time

You hear your love song sung

Makes you think, perhaps,

That love, like youth, 

Is wasted on the young

 

Love's more comfortable

The second time you fall

Like a friendly home

The second time you call

 

Who can say what led us to 

This miracle we've found?

There are those who bet

Love comes but once, and yet

I'm oh so glad we met

The second time around

 

Love's more comfortable

The second time you fall

It's like a friendly home

The second time you call

 

I wanna ask you

What led us to this miracle we've found?

There are those who bet

Love comes but once, and yet

I'm oh so glad we met

The second time around
