For the Longest Time

Oh, Oh, Oh

For the longest time

Oh, Oh, Oh

For the longest timeIf 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 timeOnce 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 timeOh, Oh, Oh

For the longest time

Oh, Oh, Oh

For the longest timeI'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 timeMaybe 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'd hoped forWho 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 timeI 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'd hoped forI 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
