For The Longest Time - Lyrics by Billy Joel


Lyrics
Wo-o-o-oh for the longest time
If you say goodbye to me tonight
There would be still 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 know my innosence 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
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 I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far and that'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 have 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 that'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 inted to hold you for the longest time
