Lyrics

Wrong place, wrong time

Landing in the pouring rain, JFK 5 pm
Make my way through immigration, I look once I look again
Two booths down the line, familiar face with an unknown man
I approach you and you see me, you look great, how have you been?
Then I think of all the good times, precious moments that we once shared
Of the things I wanted say to you, but never did and never dared

Chorus
IÂ?m at the wrong place, at the wrong time
Always seems to go like that
Every time I find the right words
My timingÂ?s just so bad
At the wrong place at the wrong time
Why wonÂ?t it go just like it should
But every time I say to myself
Gotta let you go for good

You introduce me to your man, Jack or Bob or Al or Fred
But IÂ?m staring at your face now, did not get a word of what you said
We exchange some friendly lines, uneasy, your face polite
You say youÂ?ve got to run now, to catch that connecting flight

And as I see you walk away, out of my life with your new friend
I think of when you moved to London, follow your dreams, letting me stand
But if I had told you clearly, how I felt and how I feel
Would you then have left me, would I have had you now for real?

Chorus

And all the hints I gave to you, were misunderstood
Could I have been more clear to you, I could I would I should!
The glimpse of love I thought I saw, never shined my way
Until it really was too late, and you were far away
