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 have 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 have been a child that god took home
I would have 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
Because 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
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
