Nick of Time
by Bonnie Raitt
Verse i
-------
A friend of mine she cries at night, and she
Calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes and she
Wants one of her own.
She’s waited long enough she says
And still she can’t decide
Pretty soon she’ll have to choose and it tears her up inside...
She’s scared...scared she’ll run out of time.
Verse ii
--------
I see my folks, they’re getting old, I watch their bodies change...
I know they see the same in me, and it makes us both feel strange...
No matter how you tell yourself, it’s what we all go through...
Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they’re staring’ back at you.
Scared you’ll run out of time.
Chorus
------
When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake.
Life gets mighty precious when there’s less of it to waste.
Hummmm...scared she’ll run out of time.
Verse iii
---------
Just when I thought I’d had enough
All my tears were shed...
No promise left unbroken,
There were no painful words unsaid.
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind....
You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.
I found love, love in the nick of time.
