When the stars line up
And you catch a break
People think you're lucky

But you know its grace

It can happen so fast

Or a little bit 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


And I could've been the child that God took home,
And I would've been one more unfinished song

And when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
That's when one comes along
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


And I could've been another minute late
And you'd 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 destiny
Sometimes it really seems like its a mystery


Cause you can be hurt by love
Or healed by the same

Timing is everything

It can happen so fast

Or a little too late
Timing is everything
