It's Just a Matter of Time
"It's Just a Matter of Time" ni wimbo wa ‘’pop’’ ulioandikwa na Brook Benton kwa ushirikiano wa Clyde Otis.

Utunzi
haririBrook Benton na Clyde Otis walianza kama timu ya utunzi wa nyimbo katika miaka ya baadaye ya 1950, huku wakitunga vibao kama "Looking Back" ya Nat King Cole na "A Lover's Question" ya Clyde McPhatter. Wakati wa vikao vya kuandika nyimbo, Benton alionyesha kutatizika kwa nini hawakuwa wanaangukia mawazo bora na Otis akajibu, "It's just a matter of time, Brook" (Jipe muda tu Brook). Maneno hayo yaliwachochea kuandika wimbo wa kimapenzi kutoka kwa mtazamo wa mwanaume anayemkosa sana mpenziwe lakini anaamini atamrudia. [3]
