Song of the Day: The Second Time Around

The song of the day for Saturday, November 1, 2025, is “The Second Time Around.”

About This Song

“The Second Time Around” was written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn for the 1960 movie High Time, starring Bing Crosby and Tuesday Weld. In the film, Bing Crosby decides to go back to college (at the age of 51) and experiences the generation gap first-hand. But he wins everyone over and gets his degree, having a great time along the way, including falling in love with his French professor. Bing Crosby introduced “The Second Time Around” in the movie.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Second Time Around” on December 27, 1965, for The Movie Song Album, released in 1966. Al Cohn wrote the arrangement.

“The Second Time Around,” as well as The Movie Song Album, is available on Apple Music.
