The Second Chance Waltz


for Kevin and Kelly
from Mom



Sung to the tune of a traditional Irish melody accompanied by mandolin, flute, guitar, fiddle, jaw harp and bodhran.
(and maybe a wee bit of autoharp by a friend?)


I know a fair lass
Who had blessed romance
But when he sadly passed
She felt she’d lost her chance
To e’er love again
And to join in the dance
To discover a second chance love...

And I know a lad
A fine blessed boy
With three little kids
Who are his pride and joy
He saw that sweet lass
And said she’ll be my bride
As she’ll be my own second chance love…

Come away with me now
Please come over the sea
Can’t you see, my sweet darlin’
Just what you do for me
With you by my side
I’ll be all I can be
As I pray that I’ll be that for you!

Now I know a young couple
Who found romance fair
With a love oh so true
‘Twas like floating on air
And though they’ve come back to earth
They’re still quite a pair
As they’re dancin’ their Second Chance Waltz

Oh be with me darlin’
And I’ll be here for you
We’ll be a bright blessin’
In all that we do
We’ll reach out to touch hearts
As not one now but two
(Not countin’ the wee ones, aye? ‘Tis true!)

I know a sweet family
Off to a great start…
Holding each other close
Never ever to part
A family of love
Who is blessed with one heart
As they dance in the Second Chance Waltz

Oh be with me darlin’
And I’ll be here for you
We’ll be a bright blessin’
In all that we do
We’ll reach out to touch hearts
As not one but now two
(Not countin’ the wee ones, Aye, ‘Tis true!)

I know a sweet family
Off to a great start…
Holding each other close
Never ever to part
A family of love
Who is blessed with one heart
As they dance in their Second Chance Waltz
As they dance in their Second Chance Waltz
As they dance in their Second Chance Waltz

Hi Gram...

Words cannot express how I feel about this lovely lovely waltz. May we all feel this way at least once in our lives. And for those who have experienced loss...may they feel it yet again! Thanks Mom.

Always Your...

I am such a fool for

I am such a fool for sentimentality and here I find a double dose; Andrea's lovely song and your lovely response. Thank you for both.

I also believe in second chances and the magic of love. It can be so wickly wonderful. My only suggestion would be the use of the G-string harp as added instrumentation.

May we all have a second chance,
