Second Chances

I would have never thought
That when you'd greet me
You would offer me a gift
A gift of a second chance

How many times did I pretend
To hear you say all was well
And that things had changed
And we would have a second chance

It wasn't just your smile
Or your laughter, your heart
Or even your wonderful beauty
That made me long for a second chance

It was that feeling of home
My soul felt when we were younger
And our days were new and fresh
Now a second chance says "come home"

A second chance from the brass ring
The ring of happiness forever
The wedding rings we wear
A second chance... is ours
