Love the Second Time Around

Ronnie Milsap · Pure Love/A Legend in My Time [Eagle] [1999]

(John Schweers)



This time I won't be dressed up in a coat and tie

And you won't be wearing a wedding gown

There won't be a big reception at your folks house

But it's love we know it's real love the second time around.



It's love the second time around

We won't be someone's ex anymore

It's love the second time around

A brand new life is knocking on our door.



We both know for better or worse can sure get bad

And without love the tie that binds can't come unwound

But in each other we found satisfaction

And it's love we know it's real love the second time around.



It's love the second time around

We won't be someone's ex anymore

It's love the second time around

A brand new life is knocking on our door.



'Cause we found love the second time around...
