It's Just a Matter of Time

One night long ago Sitting 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 turning 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 waiting 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
