The Longest Time

Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest-

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

Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
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 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

Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time

Whoa, oh-oh (for the longest time)
For the longest time
Whoa-oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time

Whoa, oh-oh (for the longest-)
For the longest time
