I lie awake and watch you sleep
Worry lines not so deep
That freckled girl you used to be
So many years we lived our separate lives
Could not forget you if I tried
But an angel brought you back to me
I used to have such grand romantic plans, but holding hands means more now
I've learned to love the little things, the second time around
This time we won't care who was right or who was wrong
This time when I'm in your arms, it feels like I belong
We're both older now, a little wisdom found
Love is sweeter the second time around
I used to dream of how it might've gone
If we hadn't been so young
With all those lessons left to learn
This second chance is like a precious jewel
It's our small miracle
We've seen how love can return
I used to be afraid to give myself away, always held back somehow
Gonna love you with my whole heart the second time around
This time we won't care who was right or who was wrong
This time when I'm in your arms, it feels like I belong
We're both older now, a little wisdom found
Love is sweeter the second time around
Then our timing wasn't right so I'm gonna take right now
Love is sweeter the second time around
