Oh, oh, ohFor the longest timeOh, oh, ohFor the longestIf you said goodbye to me tonightThere would still be music left to writeWhat else could I doI’m so inspired by youThat hasn’t happened for the longest timeOnce I thought my innocence was goneNow I know that happiness goes onThat’s where you found meWhen you put your arms around meI haven’t been there for the longest timeOh, oh, ohFor the longest timeOh, oh, ohFor the longestI’m that voice you’re hearing in the hallAnd the greatest miracle of allIs how I need youAnd how you needed me tooThat hasn’t happened for the longest timeMaybe this won’t last very longBut you feel so rightAnd I could be wrongMaybe I’ve been hoping too hardBut I’ve gone this farAnd it’s more than I hoped forWho knows how much further we’ll go onMaybe I’ll be sorry when you’re goneI’ll take my chancesI forgot how nice romance isI haven’t been there for the longest timeI had second thoughts at the startI said to myselfHold on to your heartNow I know the woman that you areYou’re wonderful so farAnd it’s more than I hoped forI don’t care what consequence it bringsI have been a fool for lesser thingsI want you so badI think you ought to know thatI intend to hold you for the longest time
