lyrics

Standing in line beneath the neon lights,
Doing my best with everything in sight,
Trying hard to get closer to you.
You look pretty in your green dress,
Sitting at the bar, I must confess,
I used to love a girl who looked like you.

That was long ago,
I did not know.
I was lost but now I’ve found,
I can love you better,
The second time around.

I’ve seen you walking with your new best friend,
I’ve seen you standing at the Rivers End,
I must have broken your heart a thousand times.
But you head for the door with that smile on your face,
And I know this time I lost my place,
Its back in line for another chance.

That was long ago,
I did not know.
I was lost but now I’ve found,
I can love you better,
The second time around.

Standing in line beneath the neon lights,
Doing my best with everything in sight,
Trying hard to get closer to you.
You look pretty in your green dress,
Sitting at the bar, I must confess,
I used to love a girl who looked like you.

That was long ago,
I did not know.
I was lost but now I’ve found,
I can love you better,
The second time around.
