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
And 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
And I could have been a child that got took home
And I would have been one more unfinished song
And when it seems a 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 have been another minute late
And you never would have 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
