It's Just A Matter Of Time - Debby Boone

One night long ago sittin' on my daddy’s knee

I said, «I'm so sad and lonely

And I guess that’s how I’ll always be»

He said, «Stop, don’t you cry

'Cause you know your time will come

You gotta learn to walk before you try to run»

He told me

«Patience is all you really need to pray for

'Cause you’re so sweet and you’re looking fine

Soon someday you’ll be turnin' away the boys from your door

And you’ll see that’s the way it’ll be It’s just a matter of time»

Time rolls by I saw my life beginning to chain

I grew up and made some friends and started having fun

But I told mama somehow

That loneliness still causes me pain

I tell myself I’m waitin' for that special one

She told me

«Patience is all you really need to pray for

'Cause your beauty is rare, a very special kind

Enjoy your life, soon you’ll be a wife with a man to care for

You’ll see that’s the way it’ll be It’s just a matter of time»

Then one day you came along

He seemed to step right out of my dream

When I saw you, my troubles were through

While my worries were left behind

But you say you gotta wait

Still it’s not as long as it seems

'Til the day we’re one, and you always will be mine

You tell me

«Patience is all you really need to pray for

A girl like you is, oh, so hard to find

So I know I’ll never let you go You’re the love I live for

Soon you’ll see that’s the way it’ll be It’s just a matter of time

It’s just a matter of time

It’s just a matter of time»
