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 brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Second Time Around
Performed by the 101 Strings Orchestra, this recording exemplifies the lush, romantic style characteristic of the ensemble's work. The orchestra, a staple of American radio and television during the mid-20th century, specialized in orchestral arrangements that blended classical precision with popular song structures. 'Second Time Around' reflects the era's preference for sweeping melodies and emotional depth, typical of the big band and string quartet formats popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The track stands as a testament to the group's ability to elevate standard pop compositions into full orchestral experiences, capturing the nostalgic and polished sound that defined the era's musical landscape.
