Lyrics

The first time was good
The second time was better
I had tears in my eyes
When I read your letter

I’d all but given up hope
That we’d ever be together again
But baby, I promise this time will be different
I’ll treat you again like you were heaven sent

I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love, Is that such a crime?
I’ve done my time being alone
I’m just so glad to be coming home
I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love I’m glad we still have time

And now it’s time to make up for broken promises
To make up for all those days when I’d lost my way
To again be the man you remembered when
I’m just so happy we’ll be together again

I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love, Is that such a crime?
I’ve done my time being alone
I’m just so glad to be coming home
I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love I’m glad we still have time

Now it seems like it’s time to live our dreams
To go to all those places we talked about
So I can climb the highest mountain and scream and shout
To let the world know we’re together again

I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love, Is that such a crime?
I’ve done my time being alone
I’m just so glad to be coming home
I’m in love with you for a second time
Déjà vu in love I’m glad we still have time
