Second Nature - Tom Paxton

Just like the wave that’s breaking on the sandy shore

Just like the wind that’s blowing through the tree

Your love is part of me now

It’s just a miracle how

Loving you is second nature to me

I recall the first time that I saw you

I recall the table where you sat

I didn’t catch your name

But I knew it, just the same

You smiled for me alone and that was that

Just like the wave that’s breaking on the sandy shore

Just like the wind that’s blowing through the tree

Your love is part of me now

It’s just a miracle how

Loving you is second nature to me

I was such a loner

I took a kind of pride in that

I wouldn’t let one person get too close to me

Then, like a new sun risin'

On some far unknown horizon

You made loving you what I do naturally

Just like the wave that’s breaking on the sand shore

Just like the wind that’s blowing through the tree

Your love is part of me now

It’s just a miracle how

Loving you is second nature to me
