It’s Just a Matter of Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someday, someway, you'll realize that you've been blind
Yes darling, you're going to need me again
And it's just a matter of time
Go on, go on until you've reached the end of the line
Because I know that you'll pass my way again
And it's just a little matter of time

[Bridge]
After I gave you everything I had
You laughed, you laughed and you called me a clown
Remember in your search for fortune and fame
What goes up is coming down

[Outro]
I said I know
And that something you did to me makes me know
That someday you'll wake up and find
That my love was a true, true love
And it's just a matter of time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
