Lyrics

A Matter of time Words and Music by Mark Neihart ©2013 Dancing Deer, llc It’s just a matter of time till you love me A moment away and Ill be in your heart You look away but Ill catch you thinking of me You close your mind but I know you have those open arms This is more than some schoolgirl fascination Your loves so hot it a crime With each long it goes into infatuation I’m gonna get you baby It’s just a matter of time It just a matter of time until you find me Singing songs and dancing neath your bedroom window Under the shimmering stars that’s where you find me Bigger than life as I blast out of your radio Hear the music listen to the rhythm Then give me some kind sign I see your face as your body starts to wigglin. I’m goon get you baby its just a matter of time I’ll find a way to your heart Once I’m there well Ill never let you go oh no I’m there when you’re lonely I’m there when it’s the best of times I’ll find a place you can start Just sit back and let the music take you To where you are going I’ve got your heart now I think you know it It’s just a matter of time until you love I think you know that by now It’s just a matter of what your thinking of me I’m gonna get you baby It’s just a matter of time

MacBook-Pro-New: It’s a matter of time · 2011

It’s a matter of time It’s just a matter of time until you love me A moment away and I’ll be in your arms You look away but I’ll catch you think it of me You close your mind but I know you’ve got that open heart This is more than some schoolgirl fascination Your love’s so hot it’s a crime With each long day it turns into infatuation I’m gonna get you babe it’s just a matter of time. It’s just a matter of time until you find me Singing songs and dancing neath your bedroom window Under the shimmering stars that’s where you’ll find me Bigger than life as I blast out of your radio Hear the music listen to the rhythm Then give me some kind of sign I see your face as your body starts to wiggling I’m going get you baby, it’s just a matter of time I’ll find a way to your heart And once I’m there well I’ll never let you go oh no I’m there when your lonely I’m there when it’s the best of times oh oh oh I’ll find a place we can start Just sit back and let the music take you To where you are going I’ve got your heart now, I think you know it It’s just a matter of time until you love me I think you know that by now It’s just a matter of what you’re thinking of me I’m going to get you baby, it’s just a matter of time.
