Paul Gordon - All This Time lyrics

[Jervis Pendleton] There is no such man He does not exist No matter how hard you insist There is no old gentleman to see All this time Daddy has been me I am just a fool An imposter, and a fake Like the lady of the lake I'm drowning in the waves Of my deceit But rescued by your face Each time we meet If I tell you the truth at last Would I lose your esteemed affection? Would you hate me and curse my name? I only have myself to blame So Why upset you now? When we could still be friends? As the truth just slightly bends I'm happy in my mad hypocrisy Pretending I'm the man I'll never be
