Words by Sammy Cahn and Music by Jimmy Van Heusen

 also starring Tuesday Weld and Fabian.
-Frank Sinatra charted it at # 50 in 1961


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 yours
Is wasted on the young

Love's more comf'rtable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led 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

<instrumental interlude>

Who can say what led 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
