Natalie Cole – Starting Over Again Lyrics

Soul

And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore

We were just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feeling die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right

And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All of the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's hearts

And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore

And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
'Cause every time I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

And now we're starting over again
This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home, my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

We are starting over, over again

About This Song

Natalie Cole's smooth, soulful vocals convey both vulnerability and hope as she reflects on a relationship that ended too soon due to youth and inexperience. The song's gentle, jazz-influenced production creates an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements lyrics about learning from past mistakes and being ready to love more fully. The track captures the bittersweet wisdom that comes with age-recognizing that sometimes we must lose something precious to truly appreciate its value. Cole's emotive delivery transforms what could be a simple reunion song into a sophisticated meditation on growth, forgiveness, and the possibility of redemption in love.
