Turn on all the Christmas lights
Cause baby's coming home tonight
I can hear her footsteps in the street


Turn the choral music higher
Pile more wood upon the fire

That should make the atmosphere complete

I've had to wait forever

But better late than never
She's just in time for me
She's right on time

She's right where she should be
She's right on time


I'm a man with so much tension
Far too many sins to mention
She don't have to take it anymore


But since she said she's coming home
I've torn out all my telephones

Soon she will be walking through that door

I may be going nowhere

But I don't mind if she's there
She's just in time for me
She's right on time

She's right where she should be
She's right on time


Left to my own device
I can always make believe
That there's nothing wrong


Still I will choose to live
In the complicated world

That we share for so long
Good or bad
Right or wrong

And it occurred to me
While I set up my Christmas tree
She never missed a cue

Or lost a beat

Everytime I lost the meter

There sh1e was when I would need her
Greeting me with footsteps in the street


I guess I should have known it
She'd find the perfect moment
She's just in time for me

She's right on time
She's right where she should be
She's right on time


Turn the choral music higher
Pile more wood upon the fire

That will make the atmosphere complete

I've had to wait forever

But better late than never
She's just in time for me
She's right on time

She's right where she should be
She's right on time
She's right on time

She's right on time
