The Second Time Around

Today I met an old friend
That I worked with long ago
She never really knew the me
That I wanted her to know

We had dinner and we talked
And we spoke about the past
I wondered if she knew back then
Of the feelings that I had

I always liked this lady
But back then I couldn't ask
We both had others we were with
So I let those feelings pass

This time there is a difference
For we're both single now
So I asked her on a second date
A night out on the town

Now I think I like this lady
And I'm glad I asked her out
Who knows, maybe more then friends
The second time around
