Timing Is Everything - Chris De Burgh

We play the game, we pay the price

With luck that comes and goes

No matter what the Gods decide

We always spoil their show

Just like when you are finally near

The lover of your dreams

And as you stand there waiting

She turns and walks away

And you discover that

Timing is everything

You’ve got to get it right

Timing is everything in life

We break apart when world’s collide

As everybody knows, we know it

You hear she’ll be somebody’s bride

And just can’t let her go

So get down to the church

And let her see you once again

Before you know it she’s kissing you

And throws the ring away

And then she whispers to you

«Timing is everything

You finally got it right»

Timing is everything in life

Timing is everything in life

Sooner or later all good things

Come to your heart, in life

It’s a waiting game

Then you remember that

Timing is everything

You’ve got to get it right

Timing is everything in life

Timing is everything

Timing is everything

Timing is everything

Timing is everything

We play the game, we pay the price

(Timing is everything)

No matter what the Gods decide

(Timing is everything)

We break apart when worlds collide

(Timing is everything)

We play the game, we pay the price

(Timing is everything)

No matter what the Gods decide

(Timing is everything)

We break apart when worlds collide

(Timing is everything)
