I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With no where to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light

And not a moment too soon
With not a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
When my world was filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon

I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line

And not a moment too soon
With not a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
When my world was filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon
