It's the second time  
I know I've seen you here before  
It's no coincidence I'm sure  
that once again my spirits soar 
and the second time is always harder than the first 
forgetting lines that I rehearsed,  
I fear the best, I fear the worst  
  
Love is great, it has ambition  
unafraid makes no condition  
when I say how much I love you  
you'll feel I've known you  
a thousand years . . .
