Nick Of Time Lyrics By Bonnie Raitt

    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 he can’t decide
    pretty soon she’ll have to choose
    and it tears her up inside

    she is scared
    scared to run out of time

    i see my folks are getting on
    and 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

    oh oh oh scared you’ll run out of time

    when did the choices get so hard
    with so much more at stake
    life gets mighty precious
    when there’s less of it to waaaaste

    mmmmmmmm

    mmmmmmm scared you’ll run out of time

    just when i thought i’d had enough
    and all my tears were shed
    no promise left unbroken
    there were no painful words unsaid

    yooou came along and showed me
    i could leave it all behind
    you opened up my heart again
    and then much to my surprise

    i found love baby love in the nick of time
    love in the nick of time
    i found love darlin’ love in the nick of time
    love in the nick of time
    i found love baby love in the nick of time

    ooooooooooooowhooooo
    yeah baby

    uhhhhhhuhuh

    found love
    in the nick of time

    thought i’d given up
    given up baby

    oh ooo wo ooo wo
