"A Few Bars Early" lyrics

"A Few Bars Early"

I was a few bars early
Then I got it right
I was a few bars early
But then you came into my life

I came in a few bars early
When I couldn't find the start
Came in a few bars early
And it nearly broke my heart

I was a few bars early
When I went to make my move
I couldn't see very clearly but
Then I snapped back in the groove

I was just a few bars early
But I came right back in on line
Few bars early
But then I came right back in on time

I was a few bars early
When I had that very last drink
And you said play that song called
'It's Later Than You Think'

I was a few bars early
When I went to make, make my move
I couldn't see very clearly
But I then snapped back right in the groove

I was a few bars early
But I got right back in line
Few bars early
Then I came right back in, right back in on time

I was a few bars early
When I got my very last drink
Somebody said play that song again called
'It's Later Than You Think'

I was a few bars early
But then I got it right
It was almost nearly
But then you came into my life

Came in a few bars early
When I couldn't find the start
I came in a few bars early
And it nearly, nearly broke my heart

I was a few bars early
And I had, had a very worried mind
But I shouldn't have worried
Cause everything just worked out fine

I was a few bars early by the time that I got through
If it had've been any later, then I would never have met you
If it had've been any later, then I never would have met you
If it had've been any later, then I wouldn't, wouldn't, ever, never have met you
If it had've been any later, then I wouldn't ever, never ever, have met you
