Matter of time
It's a matter of time (adlib)
How can we be more like your brother
He was tall thin and fine
The head of his class yeah yeah
And everybody liked him hey
He'd spent his whole life chasing heaven
But never seemed to find it
'Cause heaven resides right here
On the inside yeah
And people go from bad to good in just
The blink of an eye oh yeah
If they can go from bad to good I guess
Then so can I hmm yeah
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time yeah (adlib)

He'd take us downtown to the mission
Over on Mack and Third
To hear some of the strangest sounds
We'd ever heard yeah
He'd say that bad things they happen
But it's all divine please
Don't let this crazy cruel world
Make you blind
Cause people go from bad to good in just
The blink of an eye oh yeah
If they can go from bad to good I guess
Then so can I hmm yeah
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time (adlib)
It's a matter of time (adlib)
It's a matter time before I

Find my way home
It's a matter of time before I get it together
It's a matter of time

Boys and girls
It's a matter of time (adlib)
A matter of time

. . .



Yesterday I missed you sad
And today I miss you bad baby
I miss that violet dress you wear
It matched the ribbons in yo' hair
Girl there are no words or phrases
To express the depth of my longing for you tonight
I miss your embrace and I wanna tell you about it
As you read these lines may you find my heart in every word
'Cause I miss you
Girl I write these words
From my lips to your heart
Hope they find you well
Hope they find you
Like my kiss to your face
Like my scent in the air
May they drift through your mind
Like my fingertips through your hair
I miss you (adlib)
I miss you (adlib)
Hope you find your way
From New York to L.A.
May the winds of life
Bring you home
You're my hometown pride
You are my day you are my night
You're my hero my refuge
Girl I miss you
Miss your care I miss your laugh
Miss each magical moment we have
Miss you here I miss you gone
Miss the pleasure of driving you home
Miss you near I miss you far
Miss the sweetness of life in your arms
Miss you all the time your gone

I miss yo' love every day your away baby

(Adlib) baby
I'm thinkin' bout you
And that don't ease the pain
But I knew baby that the moment I started
Thinkin' bout you baby
That don't make it any easier
I said I wouldn't do it baby
Thought I could take you being gone
Thought I'd put my mind to it love
But I just couldn't make it on my own
And I'm breakin' down
I'm missin' yo' love baby

. . .



I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
And all that you mean to me
I used to think I would never fall in love again
I guess I was wrong

When your heart was broken
When your wounded pride was laid to rest, baby
You'll never open your heart to anyone else you said
But you lied, I know you're lyin' tome

You see your mind might be made up, mmm
But your heart has got it's own plans
There's no one to blame for false pride, tellin' lies,
tryin' to hide
From feelin' the pain, I know you don't wanna feel it

There's nowhere to hide when the love is callin' your
name, yeah
From the dark, babe, nowhere to hide, baby
There's nowhere to hide, so let love have it's way
with your heart
When love calls, love calls, love calls your name

It's on my lips
And I wish that you were still here
To take me away with your kiss
And take me away from all this crazy, crazy

'Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
Too many lies have been told, baby
You'll never do it again you told yourself over and
over and over
You're wrong, dead wrong, babe, yeah

There's nowhere to hide, mmm, when love is callin'
your name
In from the dark, baby, nowhere to run, girl
There's nowhere to hide, yeah, so let love have its
way, girl, with your heart, babe
Love calls, love calls

There's nowhere to hide, yeah, when love calls your
name
You fall apart, baby
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run when love is on its
way, girl, to your heart, baby
When love calls, love calls your name, babe

Love's callin' your name, hey, hey
It's callin' out for, callin' out for me, baby
Love's on its way, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm sittin' here thinkin' about you tonight
And how you make me feel
The sweetness of your touch
The softness of your voice, mmm
You make me wanna be a better man, baby
And I wanna thank you for calling me into your life

. . .



Brotha' man can I help you
Let me cut to the rhythm of your attitude
Understandin' love patience a little kindness
Will help to relieve you spiritual blindness let us
Break the metaphysical down to the marrow
God loves you still he keeps the sparrow
In his hands He's got a plan yall
And I'm sure it's gonna be groovey
So think about the days when livin' wasn't easy
Think about the times when life was so misleading
Think about the days before they had any meaning
Think about these things what a difference you'll make
God's gonna heal you everywhere you hurt
You've done all you can so just watch him work
His wonders see this one that is mystical sweetness
Folks stick around as we watch him complete this
Thing he has done in you and in me
Cast your cares upon the sea of tranquility
Which by the way you know he would never let you drown in
So why do we die on the beach when
Love abounds in ways untold people watch there dreams unfold
Every day in the blink of an eye slight of hand
Trust me yall when I say God is the man he can
And most definitely will rest your soul
Truth be told let him have control
See his eye is always on you
And still he keeps the sparrow
Even though life is'nt easy
So think about the days when love was only fleeting
Think about the days before they had any meaning
Think about these things what a difference you'll make
Think about the days (adlib)
Won't you think about the days when livin' wasn't easy
Think about the times when when life was so misleading
Think about the days before they had any meaning
Won't you sit around think about these things won't you won't you
Think about the days when life was so sad
Think about the times when love was somethin' you lacked in
Think about the days when you lived on your hands and knees
Won't you think about these things

. . .



The sun sends us another day
I wipe the frost from my window
Not quite like it used to be
Even the clouds are in a hurry
The kids gotta get off to school yeah
We can't deny them their learning oh no
Never gave a damn about the morning news
Those affairs aren't my worry
I'm not concerned if the minimum wage is at an all time low
Shame has defamed our economy
I'm not overwhelmed with gloom even though it's sad girl
'Cause after lovin' someone like you
What in the world could be so bad
No guarantees that this time will come again baby
So cherish this moment
No guarantees that our love will be like this again girl
So let's cherish this moment baby
We may never love again on earth
So when it comes lets embrace it
And no matter how hard it's been hmm babe
I don't believe we can replace it
Forget my troubles when you're around baby
Even though it might look scary yeah yeah
I'm so happy that we kind of settled down girl
Lovin' you is primary
I'm not concerned if the minimum wage is at an all time low
Shame has defamed our economy
I'm not overwhelmed with gloom even though it's sad
'Cause after lovin' someone like you
What in the world could be so bad
No guarantees that this time will come again
Oh let's cherish this moment
No guarantees our lips will meet quite like this again girl
So let's cherish this moment
There are no guarantees that we will live as free as we are right now
Cherish this moment
No guarantees our love will drift like this again girl
I want to share this moment (adlib)
I want to stay here in this moment baby

. . .



There's a fountain of hope
Living water for each of us
There are rivers of dreams
Flowin' through the heartache of this place
There are children that flower the trees
There are voices of people who need
This place (adlib)
There's sorrow and sadness here
But there's heaven and sunshine too
The spirit of peace moves free and clear
Making way for laughter here
There are children that flower the trees
There are voices of people who believe
In this place
They live and breathe
In this place yeah (adlib)
There are children that flower the trees
There are voices of people who need
This place
They wanna be in this place yeah
They live and breathe in this place

. . .



When you are standing here with me
I can see everything in you
You are the light that feeds the soul oh yeah
Girl you are everything divine
In your love I will learn my wings to fly
In your heart I will make my home
Day or night I will come to you
Here's to our love
I do oh yeah oh girl I do
You are half that makes me whole
Girl you are marigolds in bloom
Baby you are the air I breathe oh yeah
Girl you are everything in me
In your love I will bring my dreams to life oh
From your heart I will never roam oh no
Until now my weakness is all I've known
But with your love
I am strong oh baby girl
I am stronger yeah (adlib)
Oh yeah
