Song Lyrics

Dum dum dum

Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time

If you said goodbye to me tonight,
There would still be music left to write,
Ah, 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,
Ah, that's where you found me,
When you put your arms around me,
I haven't been there for the longest time

Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall,
And the greatest miracle of all,
It's 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 come 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 you're 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 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

Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time,
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
