Speak softly, don't wake the baby   Come and hold me once more   Before I have to leave   Because there's a lot of work out there   Everything will be fine   And I'll send for you baby   Just a matter of time      Our life, the only thing we know   Come and tell me once more   Before you have to go   That's there's a better world out there   Though it don't feel right   Will it be like I hope   Just a matter of time      And I hope it's all it seems   Not another empty dream   There's a time for you and me   In a place living happily      And I hope it's all it seems   Not another empty dream   There's a time for you and me   In a place living happily      Walk quietly, don't make a sound   Believe in what you're doing   I know we can't be wrong   Don't worry about us here   It will be alright   And we'll be there with you   Just a matter of time   And we'll all be together   Just a matter of time   A matter of time   We'll be together   In a matter of time   You and me, a matter of time   It will be like I hoped   A matter of time
