Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Tom Shapiro

If you've been feelin' blue,

Hey, it's been the same for me.

Now I'm here with you,

And you're exactly what I need.

Put your defenses down.

Let me show you now

This heart to heart was meant to be.



And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.

I only want to have you in my life.

All I really had to see was somebody there for me.

And if we stay right here all night,

don't you know it's a matter of love.

Don't you know it's a matter of trust.

The connection between you and me,

can't you see it's a matter trust,

Matter of us,

Matter of love.



We got magic here;

It's the power of love, I know.

It's dancin' in the air,

And I can feel the feelin' grow.

Put your defenses down.

Let me hold you now,

And I won't ever let you go.



And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.

I only want to have you in my life.

All I really had to see was somebody there for me.

And if we stay right here all night,

don't you know it's a matter of love.

Don't you know it's a matter of trust.

Nothin's ever gonna separate us.

You and me, it's a matter of trust,

Matter of us,

Matter of love.



Put your defenses down.

Let me hold you now, and I won't ever let you go.

And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.

I only want to have you in my life.

All I really had to see was somebody there for me.

And if we stay right here all night,

don't you know it's a matter of love.

Don't you know it's a matter of trust.

The connection between you and me,

can't you see it's a matter of trust,

Matter of us,

Matter of love.

It's a matter of love.
