Timing Is Everything

When the stars line up
And you catch a good break
People think you're lucky
But you know its grace.
It can happen so fast
Or a little bit late
Timing is everything.

I know I've had close calls
When it could have 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 have been a child that God took home
And I would have been one more un-finished song.
And when it seems the rhyme is hard to find
That's when one comes a long just in time.
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 have been another minute late
And you never would have 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 really seems like its a mystery
'Cause you can be hurt by love
Or healing by the same
Timing is everything
It can happen so fast
Or a little bit late
Timing is everything.
