All This Time - Michelle McManus


This time yesterday
I thought I was gonna die
Standing at the edge
Of my ordinary life
Now I'm looking far ahead
I only see clear blue skies
I hope this feeling lasts me
Until the end of time
Now I don't see the things that bring me down, like I used to, no
There were times I felt like giving up, but we came through

All this time, we've come a long, long way
I've waited a life time for today
I'm praying this moment's here to stay
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong
You gave me a reason to be strong
You gave me the will to carry on
All this time

You kiss my moods away
Now yesterday's far behind
All these clouds have died
A crater on my mind
I was looking far ahead
I'm looking with brand new eyes
Well, I can't see the future
But I know it's looking bright

Never thought we could survive, but we've come through, no
There were times we felt like giving up, but we held true

All this time, we've come a long, long way
I waited a life time for today
I'm praying this moment's here to stay
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong
You gave me a reason to be strong
You gave me the will to carry on
All this time

It's like a second chance at life
So many people passing by
And you know it's a shame
'Cause they can't believe
So they don't and they won't even try
With every battle that's been won
With every little thing I've done
But I couldn't see, it's not clear to me

All this time, we've come a long, long way
I've waited a life time for today, I'm praying this moment's here to stay

All this time, we've come a long, long way
I waited a life time for today
I'm praying this moment's here to stay
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong
You gave me a reason to be strong
You gave me the will to carry on
All this time
