Lyrics

Sometimes second best

I was just a kid when mamma left us.
She packed her bags and kissed us all goodbye.
I used to wonder if she really loved us.
A mother ain't supposed to leave her child

To have her back was all that I could wish for.
And I could sense my father's lonely heart.
But then one day along came someone special
and gave our broken family a new start.

And a mother's love is like no other love. It's the
Tender love that holds you when it hurts.
But when you can't have the best thing underneath the sun,
Sometimes second best is number one.

I used to feel like there was something missing.
But over time there's one thing I have learned:
That life can sometimes take away a good thing,
To give us something better in return

And a mother's love is like no other love.
It's the Tender love that holds you when it hurts.
But when you can't have the best thing underneath the sun,
Sometimes second best is number one

I've asked myself why, but mamma don't you cry.
I still love you more than words can say.
But when you walked out, You left me in doubt
Until someone special came along.
Sometimes second best is number one.

Nowadays I'm busy counting blessings.
One by one they're al l here in my heart.

But when you can't have the best thing underneath the sun,
Sometimes second best is number one.

But when you can't have the best thing underneath the sun,
Sometimes second best is number one.

Sometimes second best is number one.
