Lyrics
I was resting comfortable
Face down in the gutter
Life was serene
I knew where I was at
“There’s no hope for him”
My dearest friends would mutter
I was something dragged in by the cat, then
Refrain:
Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came, my time was runnin’ low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you’re here
And now I know just where I’m going
No more doubt or fear
I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life
That lovely day
