A Mere Matter of Time The lights are dim, the music soft
It's her cue to leave the floor
For she is alone as always in waiting for him
You'd think after a few years she'd avert her eyes

Sitting by candlelight she watches the other couples
With wistful eyes she glances ahead and notices him
His expressions more serious as he with friends converses
She's curious now, but turns her head quickly to be unseen
The irony of it

About to give up on hope she's startled by his presence
Heart beating faster she listens to that long awaited question
She happily and elegantly responds yes, giving him her hand
She feels as if she's floating as he guides her

She doesn't know why he now chooses her but she doesn't care
For she finally is in his arms, gazing into his angelic eyes
That smile won't fade from her face and he is well aware
He twirls her knowing he sets her soul soaring
She all the more follows his lead in love with every step

He then gently allows her to rest against him
To indulge in his love, his romance, his care
For he always felt for her
'Twas a mere matter of time
That would pass before he could fully give himself
Away to one that asked for so little yet deserved it all

As the song closes he holds her tight
Certain that she is unsure of this moment's promise
He knows that he may be able only to give her now
But still he does all he can to soothe her heart
She receives his affections and is renewed by them
For her dreams came true if only for tonight
