Just in Time

Writer(s): Comden/Green/Styne


I was resting comfortably, 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 ...

Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time
Was running 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
'Cause I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And saved my lonely life
That lovely day
