All My Life
Etta Jones · Other Songs - Etta Jones
I've been waiting for you
My wonderful one, I've begun living
All my life
All my love
Has been waiting for you
My life is sublime, now that I'm giving
All my love
You seem so lovely, so far above me
I'm almost afraid to look
But I adore you, I place before you
A heart's, that's an open book
All my life
Hold me close to your heart
But all else above, hold my love, darling
All my life
You seem so lovely, so far above me
I'm almost afraid to look
But I adore you, I place before you
A heart's, that's an open book
All my life
Hold me close to your heart
But all else above, hold my love, darling
All my life
All my life
