Off-Broadway Production Daddy Long Legs the Musical - When Shall We Meet? Lyrics
"When Shall We Meet?" is a song from musical 'Daddy Long Legs' performed by Paul Alexander Nolan.
Dear Miss Abbot I put pen to paper with some trepidation But with the feeling after your last letter That I really do owe you some sort of response I want to write you back But I don't know what to say How can I explain that I'm not really... Old And I'm not at all the man that you imagine No I'm not at all the man you would expect But Jerusha, would you object? Of course I write in contravention of my own rules of engagement Which forbid any sort of communication from me to you But only last month I was guilty of sending you a bouquet of flowers So perhaps the damage is already done And it's getting very hard to abstain from a response Especially for a man who loves to correspond For I long to interject my observations I'm bursting with opinions and advice But Jerusha, would they suffice? I shall motor up to the college one of these afternoons and introduce myself But I must warn you I'm not good at friendship I'm not good at attachment Or family or commitment I roundly despise my relations You're acquainted already with Julia Who I blame for my low expectations Jerusha So perhaps it isn't wise to reveal myself just yet Why not meet you first as the man I really am? Why not introduce myself as Julia's uncle? Daddy just for now remains discreet So Jerusha, when shall we meet?
