Lyrics Tom Paxton – Second Nature

Loving you is second nature to me
I recall the first time that I saw you
I recall the table where you sat
I didn’t catch your name
But I knew it, just the same
You smiled for me alone and that was that
Just like the wave that’s breaking on the sandy shore
Just like the wind that’s blowing through the tree
Your love is part of me now
It’s just a miracle how
Loving you is second nature to me
I was such a loner
I took a kind of pride in that
I wouldn’t let one person get too close to me
Then, like a new sun risin’
On some far unknown horizon
You made loving you what I do naturally
Just like the wave that’s breaking on the sand shore
Just like the wind that’s blowing through the tree
Your love is part of me now
It’s just a miracle how
Loving you is second nature to me
