The Longest Time 

       
Oh, 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

Oh Oh Oh 
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh 
For the longest time
(Fade out)
