Lyrics

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 lines 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. 3x
