Second Chance at Love

[Verse] In a small town by the river, where the old oak trees still grow, I laid my dear wife down, where the morning sun will show. I thought my heart was buried, deep down beside her grave, But life has ways to teach you, how the heart can still be brave. [Verse 2] I spend my days remembering, her laugh, her touch, her smile, In every rusty mailbox, old barn and dusty mile. Then one day a stranger, with eyes that match the skies, Showed me how a broken man, can find new love that flies. [Chorus] Oh, darlin’, don’t be jealous, from your clouds above, There’s room within this battered heart, for another taste of love. Your spirit lives within me, like the songbirds in the trees, But now I’ve found a second chance, to love again and breathe. [Verse 3] She walked into the diner, where the coffee’s always strong, Sat down right beside me, and it didn’t take too long. Her laugh was like a memory, sweet and clear and bright, Lit the darkened corners of my soul like a beacon light. [Verse 4] We talked about the hard times, the good times and the tears, Opened up our guarded hearts, and all our deepest fears. She knows my love is faithful, though it’s borrowed, scarred and true, Together we found healing, like the morning grass with dew. [Chorus] Oh, darlin’, don’t be jealous, from your clouds above, There’s room within this battered heart, for another taste of love. Your spirit lives within me, like the songbirds in the trees, But now I’ve found a second chance, to love again and breathe.
