-4   4    3   3  3
Love is love-li-er 
4   -4   4   -4  4  -2 
the sec-ond time a-round
-3*  -4  2   2   2
Just as won-der-ful 
-3    3*   -3  3*  -3   -1
with both feet on the ground
-1*   2    1   1   1
It's that sec-ond time 
-1   2    -2   3    3*   -3
you hear your love song sung
3*    -3    -1   -1  -1   2   -2*
Makes you think per-haps that love, 
3      -3   -3* -4 -3* -4 -3*  -4
like youth, is wast-ed on the young

-4       4    3    3  3
Love's more comf’-ta-ble 
4    -4  4   -4   4   -2
the sec-ond time you fall
-3* -4   2     2  2
Like a friend-ly home 
-3   3*  -3  3*   -3  -1
the sec-ond time you call
-1*  2   1   -1   2  -2 
Who can say what led us 
3   3*  -3 -3 -3  -3   -4
to this mir-a-cle we found?
-4     4    3     3     3
There are those who'll bet 
-3     3*  -3   2     2   2
love comes but once, and yet
3  -2*  3   -1  -1  -1
I'm oh, so glad we met 
-1   -1  2   1  -1   1
the sec-ond time a-round

REPEAT

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
