A Matter of Time Lyrics by Tom Siegel

Corridors of Time

2021

There's a shop on the corner down on 2nd Street
Where you can have a cup of coffee and maybe get something to eat
And near the counter by the telephone
There's a quiet window table just right for being alone
And every morning as I'm sitting there
I see her walking by
And I try to catch her eye
But she just keeps on smiling
As she turns her eyes away
But she looks a little longer
With every passing day
Why do I feel
We’ve been through all of this before
That it’s only a matter
Of time
And why do we
Pretend that we can’t see
That we will soon be back again
To the way we used to be
That we will soon be back again
To the way we used to be
Once I saw her in the moonlight down in Union Square
And I’ve never seen a vision like the vision that was standing there
The silver moonlight shone upon her face
As for any small unkindness I could see there wasn’t a trace
And every evening as I fall asleep
She comes into my dreams
And every night it seems
That she just keeps on smiling
As she turns her eyes to me
And whispers very softly
This is where I want to be
Why do I feel
We’ve been through all of this before
That it’s only a matter
Of time
Till we’re hand-in-hand and laughing
At how you turned from me
As if you couldn’t see
That we would soon be back again
To the way we used to be
Yes, we will soon be back again
To the love we always knew we’d find
In a matter of time
A matter of time
Time
Time
