We had it made, but you were unsure of what to say
We planned to run away, but we'll save it for another day
We held the whole world in our hands for a short spell
I tried hard to stay, but you insisted you would have your way
On my last day, I held you in my arms and prayed

That I'd hold the world again in my hands some day

Sometimes your timing's just not right, for the best things in life
Sometimes the best things just slip right through your hands and otta sight

When will it be, that I'll find someone else who knows me
Why can't you see, that some day you will have the need

To hold the world again in your hands some day

Sometimes your timing's just not right, for the best things in life
Sometimes the best things just slip right through your hands and otta sight

And we will meet again someday, another time, another place, far away
And when our eyes meet, we will recall...
That we won the world in our hands back in the day

Sometimes your timing's just not right, for the best things in life
Sometimes the best things just slip right through your hands and otta sight
