Songtekst
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time
if you'd 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
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time
I'm that voice your 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
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 your 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 concequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought ta know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time
