Billy Joel For The Longest Time Lyrics

For The Longest Time Lyrics

Oh, Oh, Oh
For the longest time
Oh, Oh, Oh
For the longest
time

If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music
left to write
What else could I do, I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't
happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was
gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's when you found me, when you
put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh,
Oh, Oh
For the longest time
Oh, Oh, Oh
For the longest time

I'm
that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is
how I need you, and how you needed me too
That hasn't happened in the
longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so
right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've gone this far
And it's more than
I'd hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be
sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance
is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at
the start
I said to myself, hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman
that you are
It's wonderful so far
And you're more than I'd hoped
for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for
lesser things
I want you so bad, I think you ought to know that
I intend
to hold you for the longest time
