It’s Just a Matter of Time
Written by Brook Benton, Clyde Otis, and Belford Hendricks;

Someday,
Someway,
You’ll realize that you’ve been blind.
Yes, my darling,
you’re going to need me again.
It’s just a matter of time.
Go on,
go on,
Until you reach the end of the line
I know you’ll have to pass my way
again.
It’s just a matter of time.
After I gave you
everything I had
You laughed
and called me a clown.
You’ll learn that
in your search
for fortune and fame
What goes up
must come down.
I know,
I know,
That one day you’ll wake up
and find
My love was a true love.
It’s just a matter of time.
After I gave you
everything I had
You laughed
and you called me
a clown.
Remember,
in your craze
for fortune and fame
What goes up
must come down.
I know,
oh, how I know
One day
You’ll realize you’ve been blind.
My love was a true love
in that matter of time.
My love was a true love
You threw away
in that matter of time.
