All the clues were there

Right before my eyes

Why should 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

Yes you lied

And betrayed my trust

Yes you made me

Appear so foolish

And though it seems

I'm the last to know

I'd be a fool to let you go

This life may not last long

And hearts might not play fair

But a love like ours is rare

And what I thought

Impossible

Is true

All this time

I've been in love with you

And it seems as I say these words

That I'm writing my first love letter

It surprises me even now

And makes me laugh

That I know how

So we fall my heart racing as it soars

I am most sincerely yours

Jerusha

Who will keep her Jervie strong

And forgives her Daddy Long Legs

For not being old

Or grey

Or bald

And for hiding from her

So long
