It's Just A Matter Of Time Lyrics

Darling I'm lost without you
Sad with nothing to do
It's just a matter of time

Whoa darling
What is it you're doing
What's that mood that's brewing
It's just a matter of time

When we went our seperate ways for the first time
I was sure that it would be the last time

Whoa darling
I'm waiting for you
Sad with nothing to do
It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter of time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for It's Just A Matter Of Time lyrics by Beach Boys, The

by The Swing King

19y ago

Not too bad at all, but it kind of forgettable really. This is a Brian Wilson Beach Boys song with the feeling of good old rock-n-roll ballads, but if Brian really thought about making it good he would have brought back what made the 'golden era' Beach Boys ballads so successful: their unmatchable harmony and sound. Skip this one forever and just listen to things like "Warmth of the Sun" if you want the same meaning but with the real Beach Boys sound.
