Matter Of Time

Lyrics

Speak softly, don't wake the baby

Come and hold me once more

Before I have to go

There's a lot of work out there

Everything will be fine

And I'll send for you baby

In just a matter of time

Our lives, the only things we know

Come and tell me once more

Before you have to go

There's a better world out there

Though it don't seem right

Will it be like I hope

In just a matter of time

And I hope it's all it seems

Not another empty dream

There's a place for you and me

In a time living happily

Walk quietly, don't make a sound

Believe in what you're doing

I know we can't be wrong

Don't worry about a thing

It will be all right

And we'll all be together

In just a matter of time

And we'll all be together

In just a matter of time

Matter of time

Matter of time
