Gladys Knight & The Pips — Seconds

Seconds, I missed him just by seconds I missed him in the moment that it takes a door to open All the plans that I had dreamed of All the dreams that I was hoping for Were shattered by the movement of the little hands that ticks away the seconds That's all it takes, it's seconds The rain has stopped the traffic And it seemed my hopes were fading Nothing moved across the city, while I prayed he still was waiting there Knowing that my life was riding on the hand that ticks away the seconds I've got more know than seconds I've got myself a lifetime, I've got all the time I needed I can sit here with this letter, nothing else to do but read it Nothing else to do but listen While the ticking clock keeps ticking, left my life with nothing else No, nothing else but seconds And all the men I've met since then... Were seconds
