Billy Joel The Longest Time Lyrics

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 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
