All This Time
All the clues were there
Right before my eyes
How could I be so surprised
And yet it appears I never knew
All this time, Daddy has been you
How was I so blind
That I could never see
You were always here with me
And yet it appears I never knew
All this time, Daddy has been you
Yet you lied and betrayed my trust
And you made me appear so foolish
Though it seems I'm the last to know
I'd be a fool to let you go
Life may not last long
(My life will never last without your love)
And hearts might not play fair
(I know it wasn't fair)
But a love like ours is rare
and what I thought impossible is true
(What I thought is true)
All this time I've been in love with you
And it seems as I say these words
That I am writing my first love letter
It surprises me even now
And makes me laugh that I know how
So with all my heart
Racing as it soars
I am most sincerely yours
Jerusha who will keep her Jervis strong
And forgives her Daddy Long Legs
For not being old
Or gray
Or Bald
And for hiding from her so long
Right before my eyes
How could I be so surprised
And yet it appears I never knew
All this time, Daddy has been you
How was I so blind
That I could never see
You were always here with me
And yet it appears I never knew
All this time, Daddy has been you
Yet you lied and betrayed my trust
And you made me appear so foolish
Though it seems I'm the last to know
I'd be a fool to let you go
Life may not last long
(My life will never last without your love)
And hearts might not play fair
(I know it wasn't fair)
But a love like ours is rare
and what I thought impossible is true
(What I thought is true)
All this time I've been in love with you
And it seems as I say these words
That I am writing my first love letter
It surprises me even now
And makes me laugh that I know how
So with all my heart
Racing as it soars
I am most sincerely yours
Jerusha who will keep her Jervis strong
And forgives her Daddy Long Legs
For not being old
Or gray
Or Bald
And for hiding from her so long
