Timing Is Everything

When the stars line up

And you catch a good break

People think you're lucky

But you know it's grace

It can happen so fast

Or a little bit 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

And I could've been a child that God took home

And I would've been one more unfinished song

And when it seems the rhyme is 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

And I could've been another minute late

And 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

Well you can call it fate or destiny

Sometimes it really seems like it's a mystery

'Cause 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
