Love is lovelier
The 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.
Elizabeth Taylor version: Love is lovelier, the SEVENTH time
around
