Matter Of Time
Stacy Clark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are, sitting in a room.
All of my attention is on you.
You can hear rain from above.
I think i'm falling in love.

It is just a matter of time.
Before i'm gonna make you, make you mine.
And you smile. you take my breath right away.
And you smile. you take my breath right away.

All the things I want to say.
Hurry up and look my way.
All the things I want to know.
Jurry up and tell me before you go.

It is just a matter of time.
Before i'm gonna make you, make you mine.
And you smile. you take my breath right away.
And you smile. you take my breath right away.

It only takes one mistake, please please please.
Don't ever go away. it only takes one single day,
Please please please. dont ever go away. say you'll stay.

It is just a matter of time.
Before i'm gonna make you, make you mine.
And you smile. you take my breath right away.




And you smile. you take my breath right away.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
