Just A Matter Of Time
Severin Browne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it seems kind of funny
That a natural-born fool like me
Could have a natural-born beautiful woman like you to love me.
In the morning when I get up and look for my other shoe
You've got a big, open smile, a helping hand, and I love you.

Lord knows I love you.
I'd do anything for you.
It's just a matter of time before I'm here with you all the time.
It's just a matter of time before I'm here with you all the time.

But still it seems kind of funny
That when all the day's work is done
I've got someone that I can stay out late at night with and have some fun.
In the evening when I sit down to eat my vegetable stew
You've got a big, open smile, a spoon at my side, and I love you.

Lord knows I love you.
I'd do anything for you.
It's just a matter of time before
I'm here with you all the time.
It's just a matter of time before
I'm here with you all the time.

Oh, some lonesome times I've had.
Oh, from now on, it just won't be so bad.
But still it seems kind of funny
When I think of all the ladies I've known
That I'd actually find one that'd make me want to stay at home.
Late at night when I get up to get us a glass of water

You've got a big, open smile, you keep the bed warm, and I love you.
Lord knows I love you.
I'd do anything for you.
It's just a matter of time before I'm here with you all the time.




It's just a matter of time before I'm here with you all the time.
It's just a matter of time before I'm here with you all the time.
