Bonnie Raitt Nick of Time lyrics

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

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 eyes are pretty hard to take
When they're staring' back at you
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 waste
Scared she'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

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
I found love darling, love in the nick of time
I found love baby, love in the nick of time
Ooh yeah baby

Found love, in the nick of time
Thought I'd give it up, give it up baby
Oh baby, love [Incomprehensible]
Love in, love in the nick of time
