Don

[Verse 1]
Nineteen eighty-one, we said our vows
A younger love beneath the country sky
Time can pull two hearts a world apart
But some things never truly say goodbye
A song came on the radio back then
And I knew it was written just for me

[Chorus]
'Cause it's just a matter of time
That's the promise we made in a melody
Two roads that wandered wide
Somehow found their way back home to me
Through the years and the miles, love survived
It was always just a matter of time

[Verse 2]
And Randy sang the words we couldn't say
A tune that carried all we couldn't show
Eighty-three we held our daughter close
And loved my son as if he'd always been our own
And when the storm of twenty-sixteen came
You never left my side, you held me still

[Chorus]
'Cause it's just a matter of time
That's the promise we made in a melody
Two roads that wandered wide
Somehow found their way back home to me
Through the years and the miles, love survived
It was always just a matter of time

[Bridge]
Oh Don, you bought me wheels to move again
You built the ramps so I could come and go
The gentlest hands this woman's ever known

[Verse 3]
The girls all call you Pop Pop with a grin
You give me everything a heart could need
And made this house a warm and steady home
So here's our anniversary, my love
A brand new start with all the years to come

[Chorus]
'Cause it's just a matter of time
That's the promise we made in a melody
Two roads that wandered wide
Somehow found their way back home to me
Through the years and the miles, love survived
Oh Don, it was just a matter of time

[Outro]
So play that old sweet song for me
Our legacy, our destiny
It was always just a matter of time
