Capo on 1st fret!

      
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
             
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
                             
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
