One night long ago sittin' on my daddy's knee I said, "I'm so sad and lonely And I guess that's how I'll always be" He said, "Stop, don't you cry 'Cause you know your time will come You gotta learn to walk before you try to run" He told me "Patience is all you really need to pray for 'Cause you're so sweet and you're looking fine Soon someday you'll be turnin' away the boys from your door And you'll see that's the way it'll be It's just a matter of time" Time rolls by I saw my life beginning to chain I grew up and made some friends and started having fun But I told mama somehow That loneliness still causes me pain I tell myself I'm waitin' for that special one She told me "Patience is all you really need to pray for 'Cause your beauty is rare, a very special kind Enjoy your life, soon you'll be a wife with a man to care for You'll see that's the way it'll be It's just a matter of time" Then one day you came along He seemed to step right out of my dream When I saw you, my troubles were through While my worries were left behind But you say you gotta wait Still it's not as long as it seems 'Til the day we're one, and you always will be mine You tell me "Patience is all you really need to pray for A girl like you is, oh, so hard to find So I know I'll never let you go You're the love I live for Soon you'll see that's the way it'll be It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time"Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
