- Songwriters: Janet Gardner, Sharon Pedersen
I was pretendin' it was easy alone
I built a fortress to keep out the unknown
Surrounded myself with walls of rejection
Trapped in the dungeon for my protection
Your smile came shinin' through
So pure I knew
Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time
Time after time I threw my heart away
My faith was fading fast day after day
I had enough of givin' in
I couldn't lay down my pride so love just pushed me aside
Your kisses washed away my thirst
Every touch felt like the first
Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time
In this angry world, I thought loneliness would shelter me
My broken spirit cried in vain, till you set me free
Your kisses washed away my thirst
Every touch feels just like the first
Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water in my desert
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time
Not a minute too soon, your love came through for me
You are the water, yeah you are the water
Not a minute too soon, your love got through to me
You rescued me just in the nick of time
And not a minute too soon
You are the water in my desert
You know your love came through for me
Your love got through to me
I've rescued oh rock me, roll me
I wanna be the one
