Just in Time - Art Pepper, Jimmy Giuffre, Marty Paich

I was resting comfortably, face down in the gutter

Life was serene, I knew where I was at

«There's no hope for him,» my dearest friends would mutter

I was something dragged in by the cat.

Then …

Just in time

I found you just in time

Before you came my time

Was running low

I was lost

The losing dice were tossed

My bridges all were crossed

Nowhere to go

Now you’re here

And now I know just where I’m going

No more doubt or fear

Cause I found my way

For love came just in time

You found me just in time

And saved my lonely life

That lovely day
