When the stars line up And you catch a break People think you're lucky But you know its grace It can happen too fast Or a little too late Timing is everything
You know I've had close calls When it could've been me I was young when I learned Just how fragile life can be I lost friends of mine I guess it wasn't my time Timing is everything
I could've been the child that god took home I would've been one more unfinished song And when it seems a rhyme hard to find That's when one comes along just in time Timing is everything
I remember that day
When our eyes first met You ran into the building to get out of the rain You were soaking wet And as I held the door You asked my name Timing is everything
I could've been another minute late You never would've crossed my path that day And when it seems true love is hard to find That's when love comes along just in time You can call it fate or call it destiny And sometime it seems like it's a mystery You can be hurt by love Or healed by the same Timing is everything
It can happen too fast Or a little too late Timing is everything
