Billy Joel - For the Longest Time lyrics

woohoohoo for the longest time

if you'd say 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

woohoohoohoo for the longest time

woohoohoo for the longest time

I'm that voice your 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

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 your 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 concequence it brings

I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad

I think you oughta know that

I intend to hold you for the longest time

woohoohoohoo for the longest time

woohoohoo for the longest time
