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 when 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 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 in the longest time 

Maybe this won't last very long 
But you feel so right 
And I could be wrong 
Maybe I've gone this far 
And it's more than I'd 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 
It's wonderful so far 
And you're more than I'd 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
