A Matter Of Time lyrics

Goin? every night, to the place you?d be
But you never did catch on.
I?d always try to draw you near
Just by playin? one more song.
To wait for the right moment,
Was my first mistake.
If I knew then what I know now,
You?d be mine to take, I?d take you away.

You talk of your tomorrows,
They sound like yesterdays I?ve told.
Are you too much like a little child,
Or is it that I?m growing old?
The questions that you?d ask me,
I didn?t know what to say
And when I had the answers, girl,
You turned and walked away.

That?s when I figured out that -

I was born too early, and you were born too late.
No way that you?re gonna catch me.
No way that I can wait.
I?d trade away tomorrow for an hour here today -
But I know you belong to another -
You belong to another man.

Well I know what?s said about what it costs.
When you play too close to home.
Keep away from trouble, boy
And leave that little girl alone.

It?s hot enough to feel the heat,
Too close and you?ll get burned.
Now I?ve no time to teach you girl,
And you don?t want to learn
