she's right on time

turn on all the christmas lights

cause baby's coming home tonight

i can hear her footsteps in the street

turn the choral music higher

pile more wood upon the fire

that should make the atmosphere complete

i've had to wait forever

but better late than never

she's just in time for me

she's right on time

she's right where she should be

she's right on time

i'm a man with so much tension

far too many sins to mention

she don't have to take it anymore

but since she said she's coming home

i've torn out all my telephones

soon she will be walking through that door

i may be going nowhere

but i don't mind if she's there

she's just in time for me

she's right on time

she's right where she should be

she's right on time

left to my own device

i can always make believe

that there's nothing wrong

still i will choose to live

in the complicated world

that we share for so long

good or bad

right or wrong

and it occurred to me

while i set up my christmas tree

she never missed a cue

or lost a beat

everytime i lost the meter

there she was when i would need her

greeting me with footsteps in the street

i guess i should have known it

she'd find the perfect moment

she's just in time for me

she's right on time

she's right where she should be

she's right on time

turn the choral music higher

pile more wood upon the fire

that will make the atmosphere complete

i've had to wait forever

but better late than never

she's just in time for me

she's right on time

she's right where she should be

she's right on time

she's right on time

she's right on time
