Billy Joel Longest Time Lyrics

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 where 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
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 for the longest
time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I
could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this
far
And it's more than I 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
You're wonderful so
far
And it's more than I 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
