Timing Is Everything

When the stars line up

And you catch a good break

People think you're lucky

But you'll know its grace

It can happen so fast

Or a moment late

Timing is everything



Know I've had close calls

When it could've been me

I was young when I learned

Just how fragile life could be

I lost friends of mine

I guess it wasn't my time

Timing is everything



I could've been a child that god took home

I would've been one more unfinished song

When it seems a rhyme hard to find

That's when one comes along just in time



Well I remember that day

When our eyes first met

You ran into the building to get out of the rain

Cause you were soaking wet

And as I held the door

You wanted to know my name

Timing is everything



I could've been another minute late

You never would've crossed my path that day

When it seems true love is hard to find

That's when love comes along just in time

You can call it fate or destiny

Sometimes it's real it

Seems like it's a mystery

You can be hurt by love

Or healed by the same

Timing is everything



And it can happen so fast

Or a little bit late

Timing is everything
