The Longest Time-Billy Joel



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

Im so inspired by you

That hasnt happened for the longest time



Once I thought my innocence was gone

Now I know that happiness goes on

Thats where you found me

When you put your arms around me

I havent been there for the longest time



Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Im that voice youre hearing in the hall

And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you

And how you needed me too

That hasnt happened for the longest time



Maybe this wont last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe Ive been hoping too hard

But Ive gone this far

And its more than I hoped for



Who knows how much further well go on

Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone

Ill take my chances

I forgot how nice romance is

I havent 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

Youre wonderful so far

And its more than I hoped for



I dont 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



Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time
