Lyrics The Longest Time - The Overtones

The Longest Time

If you say 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 where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven’t been there for the longest time
1 — Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
It’s been so olng since I felt so right
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
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 man 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
And I think that you should know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repeat 1 until fade
