For The Longest Time Lyrics - American Idol

Oh, Oh, Oh 

For the longest time 

Oh, Oh, Oh 

For the longest time 

If 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 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 

Oh, Oh, Oh 

For the longest time 

Oh, Oh, Oh 

For the longest time 

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'd 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'd 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
