A Question Of Timing


Why do I fall for loves’ beauty?
With those that don’t love me
Is it my timing that’s at fault?
Some strange illness I’ve caught
It happen every time you see
I don’t know it’s a real mystery

I get gifts and countless posies
From men who send me roses
They send them to me constantly
But their flowers don’t thrill me
Yet a word or a look from the one
And then it’s my time in the sun

What do I seek and is it here?
I know it’s not found in a tear
Is it my sense of time that’s out?
If I’ve lost it, is it still here about?
I’m here but in the wrong place
It’s not here that I’ll find my race

So why am I still searching, why?
I must know for what I often sigh
Am I not in step with my time?
If I adjusted would things be fine
Would I really find my Mr. Right?
Or has he already taken his flight?

Do I have to find my own time?
Or will the moment be my sign?
Do I have to seek my own destiny?
Or will my fate be seeking out me?
Is it just a question of timing, is it?
If so when do I expect a timed visit?

Only a memory of the same
