Second Time Around - Chris Norman

It was the middle of the night on a normal day

I was lost in my thoughts so far away

Thinking about those times we spent together

Funny how time can move so fast

Maybe it’s best left in the past

But some things I know are gonna last forever

And then I heard you laughing

A sound I know so well

I watched you walk across the room

You came right up to me and you said

Do you still remember me and just how close we used to be It was easy then — why can’t we start again?

And though we went our separate ways

I thought about you all those days

And now you’re here — I wanna keep you near

We can’t lose this chance that we have found

Let’s make it work the second time around

Well we talked and talked till the night was gone

The sunlight crept to another dawn

Trying to put all the pieces back together

It might have been only yesterday

'Cos everything seemed to melt away

We promised ourselves this time we’d last forever

And when we held each other

It felt like we were one

And then I knew for certain that

You’d spent the night with me when you said

Do you still remember me and just how close we used to be It was easy then — why can’t we start again?

And though we went our separate ways

I thought about you all those days

And now you’re here — I wanna keep you near
