All This Time

"All This Time" is Tiffany's lead single of her second album, Hold an Old Friend's Hand, as well as her sixth overall single of her career. It is about Tiffany getting over a breakup, wondering how she will occupy her time now that they are no longer together.

Background
Tiffany recorded the song with her scratchy voice at around 2 AM, after a pizza.

Reception
After Tiffany's previous single "Feelings of Forever" failed to reprise the success of the three singles (two in which are #1 hits), her popularity re-gained after the release of the single. "All This Time" became the fourth and last top-ten hit in the United States, peaking at #6 on Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the US Adult Contemporary Chart. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at #47 on UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics
All this time

I knew someday you'd need to find

Something that you left behind

Something I can't give you

All these tears

And like a light

Love disappears

But hearts are good for souvenirs

And memories are forever

All this time

All in all

I've no regrets

The sun still shines

The sun still sets

The heart forgives

The heart forgets

But what will I do now

With all this time

One more kiss

Even though it's come to this

I'll close my eyes

And make a wish

Hoping you remember

All this time

All in all

I've no regrets

The sun still shines

The sun still sets

The heart forgives

The heart forgets

But what will I do now

With all this time

Say goodbye

Apart

We'll make another try

But don't be sorry

If you cry

I'll be crying too

On this day

All this time

All in all

I've no regrets

The sun still shines

The sun still sets

The heart forgives

The heart forgets

But what will I do now

With all this time

What will I do now

With all this time
