A Few Bars Early Lyrics by Van Morrison

Latest Record Project, Volume 1

2021

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I was a few bars early whеn I had that very last drink
And you said play that song called "Later Than You Think"
[Chorus]
I was a fеw 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, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
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, one more time
If it had've been any later, then I wouldn't ever, never ever, have met you
