A friend of mine, she cries at night
and she calls me on the phone
She sees babies everywhere she goes
and she wants one of her own

She's wait in line enough, she said
and still she 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 old
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 to 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

Mmm, mmm, mmm
Scared to run out of time

Just when I thought I had enough
and all my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken
there was no pain for words unsaid

You came along and showed me
I can 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, darling
Love in the nick of time
(Love in the nick of time)
I found love, baby
Love in the nick of time

Ooh ooh ooh, yea baby
Ooh ooh
Found love
In the nick of time

Thought I'd given up
given up, baby
Oh baby
Love in the nick of time
