Hmmm, mmmm
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

Chorus:
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, ooh yeah

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

Chorus:
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

Oh, oh, oh, hmm mm
Second time around, yeah, yeah, second time around, yeah, yeah, yeah
And now you're here, yeah, yeah

Chorus:
...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

Yeah, yeah, second time around
Hmm, hmm, second time around
