lyrics

Lookin' at the time...
Not sure all is fine.
Peeking through the glass,
Yet no faces pass.
And then I realize, I realize,
I realize, oh I realize...
That I...

Got There Too Early,
And it's not the first time
I read the wrong sign.
You would think I know by now
Just what I'm not to do!

Yet I Got There Too Early,
And it's not the first time
I read the wrong sign.
You would think I know by now
Just what to do, but...

If you come too soon,
You will wait.
But then wait too long,
You'll be late!
Take a breath or two - it's just time.
Though you can't rewind, keep mind!

Get yourself a book - and a pen,
Read about new folks, or draw them.
Time is yours to keep...best of company,
So I guess I'll...

Get There Too Early,
For that is the best time
To catch the sunrise!
Oh I'll be happy to be early.
