When the stars line

And you catch a break

People think you're lucky

But you know its grace

It can happen too fast

Or a little too 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

I could've been the

child that god took home

I would've been one more unfinished song

And when it seems a rhyme hard to find

That's when one comes along just in time

Timing is everything

I remember that day

When our eyes first met

You ran into the building

to get out of the rain

You were soaking wet

And as I held the door

You asked my name

Timing is everything

I could've been another minute late

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

You can call it fate or call it destiny

And sometime it really

seems like it's a mystery

You can be hurt by love

Or healed by the same

Timing is everything

It can happen too fast

Or a little too late

Timing is everything
