The Longest Time (Billy Joel; arr. Karsten Wolf) Songtext
von amarcord

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
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 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
