IT'S ABOUT TIME
(Johnny Christopher / Laying Martine)


Mel McDaniel - 1977



        

Well, it's about time we laid down together
It's about time we called it a day
And it's about time we held each other
And let the world outside our window just fade away

I long to hear you softly breathin' 
As your fingers touch my skin
'Cause it warms me with a feelin'
Layin' down with you again

Well, it's about time we laid it all behind us
The past is sleepin' and the future's left to find
And there's a need to reach out kindly
Lord, it feels so good to touch a body and reach a mind

I long to hear you softly breathin' 
As your fingers touch my skin
'Cause it warms me with a feelin'
Layin' down with you again

Well, it's about time we laid down together
Yes it is
