Right Place right time

[[Intro – soft piano, brushed drums] Strolled down to the market square Sunlight dancing in the air Didn’t know what I would find Just killing time… just easing my mind ⸻ [Verse 1] Smell of coffee, fresh baked treats People drifting through the streets Then I saw her, apron tied Little cake stand by her side Chocolate swirls and lemon glaze She caught me in a sugared haze We got talking, light and slow Like a tune I didn’t know ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Then I glanced down at her hand Saw a ring I hadn’t planned… ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, swing low, don’t let it show Play it cool and let it go Some you meet and some you miss That’s just life in a moment like this So I smiled, paid for my cake Tipped my hat, made my escape Heart a little out of tune But the day was still in bloom ⸻ [Verse 2 – strolling groove] Wandered on past fruit and spice Trying not to think twice Found a shop down a narrow lane Full of dust and old champagne Clocks that ticked in lazy time Shelves of things without a rhyme Then I saw her standing there By a vase with silver flare ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – playful] Funny thing, I’d seen that piece Late-night telly, antiques feast… ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, right place, right time again Something sparked I can’t pretend Stepped right up, said, “That one’s rare” Like I knew what I was talking ‘bout there She raised a brow, half amused But she listened, slightly bemused Bought the vase, gave me a smile Said, “Thanks for that”—then stayed awhile ⸻ [Instrumental – jazzy piano + sax solo] ⸻ [Verse 3 – laid-back, storytelling] Week goes by, I’m back once more Same old stalls, same old floor Then a tap upon my sleeve “Hey there… fancy who I see” She was laughing, eyes aglow “Sold that vase, made a tidy sum, you know” “Tell me, how’d you learn so much?” I just grinned and shrugged it off ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 3 – cheeky confession] “Told the truth? I haven’t a clue… Just got lucky talking to you…” ⸻ [Final Chorus – warm, uplifting] Oh, right place, right time, my friend Funny how the story bends Took a chance, told a lie But the truth brought us eye to eye We had drinks, we laughed all night Everything just felt so right Plans were made for me and you Something real from something blue ⸻ [Outro – soft, content] Walked back home with a quiet grin Like I’d somehow found a win Didn’t need no grand design… (softly) Just the right place… at the right time… 🎷
