The Longest Time Lyrics

(Originally by Billy Joel)

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 how you found me
when you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
Whoa-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 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 your gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
whoa-oh-oh-oh! for the longest time
whoa-oh-oh-oh...!

Thank you, Thank you very much
I'd like to take this opportunity
to remind everyone, that right now
there are hundereds of thousands of people
all over the world!
