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
