This song reaches straight into your chest, tears out your heart, then caresses it softly and tells you everything will be alright. And there's no better singer in the world to make that message real.
We just were married , me at 75 and she at 74. We were HS Classmates in the Sixties; but had separate lives until our 50th HS Reunion! We are truly blessed and Bonnie-expressed it through her lyrics in this wonderful song! ‘We found Love; love in the Nick of Time!’
I have a similar story! I am now Companion to the Lady that was my High School Prom date, in 1973. But then lost track of for 35 years. We found love , Darlin' Love in the nick of time.
I grew up in the 70's and took The Band for granted in the 70's. I loved The Last Waltz but did not bother to collecy their records. I knew the popular songs. As i have grown so much older over the years, i appreciate The Band much more. There are many great deep cuts on the classic albums. I love them now. Garth Hudson is the only surviving member now. R9bbie left us a year or so ago. It's sad. But we must pay homage to The Band's astonishing legacy. Yhey remain to be one of the biggest influences on North American roots music. As they should be. I could never get through watching The Last Waltz without tossing back a couple of shots with beer chasers. It's so right, it can't be wrong. Completely appropriate.
One of the top ten artists of all time in my opinion. Absolutely phenomenal especially this album. Thanks to my Dad for introducing it to me when I was little.
I have always loved Ms Bonnie. This song reminds me of aging. Enjoy your your life so that when you are older you have NO regrets. Life gets mighty precious when there less of it to waste.
Taken a back by her talent. The runs, the playing, the song-writing. To me, she’s like an Elton John, Whitney, MJ, Don Henley, a musical dynamo. A very rare and special breed.
She is one-of-a-kind. You don't hear much anymore about Bonnie...wonder what she's up to these days. Her talent knows no bounds.....what a wonderful singer.
This song hits different with every passing year. May not be a better song about us humans and every emotion we manifest about just how fast this whole life thing is going
Just saw her last night--and she was f*ing great--like a bottle of great wine, only gets better with time. A massively talented artist & magnificent slide guitarist..
Saw her play at a software conference back in about 93. Really small stage and I stood about 3 feet away from her while she played and sang. My first thought was that this woman oozes Soul. What an incredible talent!
Love Bonnie. A rare rare talent. So much soul and talent and a remarkable beautiful vocal talent. Saw here w James Taylor a couple months ago and she hasn't lost a thing. Had the audience in the palm of her hand.
Makes me cry every damn time. And I do not cry, ever... Damn Bonnie... Such a simple predictable rhythm and lyrical arrangement. beginners stuff. But wow...
When this came out I keep the cassette in my car. I listened on the way to work and on the home every day. I wore out the cassette and had the entire song line up memorized.
What a beautiful song , Bonnie is an incredible talent, And i can relate so much of my life with this song, I can’t blame anyone for copying this song but no one will ever match up to her
I have loved this song for years! You are so gifted to write about emotions. Your songs hit home with me. Love you Bonnie! Hope your having a beautiful life!
Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time Lyrics from album: Nick Of Time (1989) Verse I A friend of mine she cries at night, and she Calls me on the phone Sees babies everywhere she goes and she Wants one of her own. She's waited long enough she says And still he can't decide Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside... She's scared... Scared she'll run out of time. Verse ii I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch their bodies change... I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel strange... No matter how you tell yourself, It's what we all go through... Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they're staring' back at you. Scared you'll run out of time. Chorus When did the choices get so hard? With so much more at stake. Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste. Hummmm... Scared she'll run out of time. Verse iii Just when I thought I'd had enough All my tears were shed... No promise left unbroken, There were no painful words unsaid. You came along and showed me How to leave it all behind.... You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise. I found love, Love in the Nick of Time. 3x
" Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste. Hummmm... Scared she'll run out of time." This line HERE? Blew me AWAY!!! When I was a youngster I was a TOTAL FOOL with my life, and the time to build a life, a life's foundation. I'd wasted a lot of my life. A great deal. Now, what life God blesses me with? Is PRECIOUS for His Service!!!
@Bonnie Raitt is it really you? I have been a huge fan for many, many years. Not sure WHY you answered my text, but if is in deed,you….I’m so humbled and honored, Your music is timeless, so fluid and smooth. I listen to you all the time. I think Nick of Time, is my favorite song of yours . Although, Angel From Montgomery, Is Right up there. Have a heart too! Everything you sing is beyond outstanding!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day 2021! Hope this will be the year that you find your lifetime mate! We just celebrated our 50 year Anniversary! Hope we're not running out of time! Still more in LOVE than we first met because we made the LORD our foundation! A 3-way cord is hard to break!!Go ahead and tie that KNOT!!

Wonderful words of wisdom 😊 I hope that you are still enjoying life and listening to the lovely Bonnie Raitt
As a 48 year old man from the hood in Waco,Tx...I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!
THIS MELODY AND LYRICS TOUCHES MY SOUL!!!!
👍😊🎸
LOL I'm in the hood in Waco too!
Waco!?! Howdy Texan!
🎉❤🎉❤
I just recently fell in love with this song. So heartfelt...her voice is so effortless, gritty and beautiful.
Exactly 💯 and this live version sounds great, she has a great voice
its a simple story but its so so true. we all face it.
Funny. Didn't totally get it until I got older. Old enough to relate.
Nothing to add.
My husband thinks that it has Gospel tones! It is so ALIVE today too! Classic!1
Taken a back by her talent. The runs, the playing, the song-writing. To me, she’s like an Elton John, Whitney, MJ, Don Henley, a musical dynamo. A very rare and special breed.
YES YES TOTALLY UNRECOGNIZED LONG MAY SHE LIVE!!!!!!!!!
AGREED !!❤
Bonnie you are so grand
My favorite artist for going on 45 years!

This was the song/album that introduced me to Ms. Bonnie Raitt. Forever hooked.
I love Bonnie Raitt's songs including this song. I feel something natural like life.
Witnessed her talents on stage, formidable and seemingly effortless, flawless
She gave that concert 3 days before I died in a car wreck...I was given a second chance. I found love in the nick of time. Thank you God.

She is one-of-a-kind. You don't hear much anymore about Bonnie...wonder what she's up to these days. Her talent knows no bounds.....what a wonderful singer.

Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time Lyrics
from album: Nick Of Time (1989)
Verse I
A friend of mine she cries at night, and she
Calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes and she
Wants one of her own.
She's waited long enough she says
And still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside...
She's scared... Scared she'll run out of time.
Verse ii
I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch their bodies change...
I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel strange...
No matter how you tell yourself, It's what we all go through...
Those eyes are pretty hard to take when they're staring' back at you.
Scared you'll run out of time.
Chorus
When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake.
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Hummmm... Scared she'll run out of time.
Verse iii
Just when I thought I'd had enough
All my tears were shed...
No promise left unbroken,
There were no painful words unsaid.
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind....
You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.
I found love, Love in the Nick of Time. 3x
