For The Longest Time Lyrics
whooohhhhohh for the longest time
whooohhhhohh for the longest-
If you said goodbye to me tonight
their 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
whooohhhhohh for the the longest time
whooohhhhohh 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 said good 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
wooohhhhohhh for the longest time
wooohhhoohhh for the longest time
wooohhhoohhh for the longest time
whooohhhhohh for the longest-
their 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..
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
whooohhhhohh for the longest-
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
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
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 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 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
wooohhhoohhh for the longest time
wooohhhoohhh for the longest time

It's about how great it is to find someone who makes you happy.
it seems as if he's at the "peak" of his relationship.. sigh that's always a great feeling. =D i love this song, and it's even more fun to sing with my friends in small chorus. =]
This was the first song I really fell in love with, and learned the lyrics to. I was about 3 years old, and I think back then I knew what the song meant. Something like finding love after being alone for a long time...
well this song is amazing, its so amzing. the song is almost certainly about billy joel's cat "uncle kevin" who he named after his late uncle (Otis) who is now dead. The song basically tells the story of uncle kevin the cat who on a monday evening go's out for a strol and is hit by a car.
You're damn near retarded.
You're damn near retarded.
hahahahahaha i love you if u were joking. if you were being serious i still love you but just a little less
hahahahahaha i love you if u were joking. if you were being serious i still love you but just a little less
if anyone didnt pick up on the joke, they might be damn near retarded.

T Tom, you're kidding right? This almost certainly sounds like a romantic song, not about a cat.
Er T Tom, one of his lines "Now I know the woman that you are." It's woman he's singing to, not cat. Nice try.
Billy joels for the longest time is an extremely interesting song because originally the song was going to be called “for the longest LINE” as billy joel was an extremely accomplished mathematician he was captivated by the wonderful “line” and its design. He then decided to try his best to write a really good song about the line and its creation I have managed to get a copy of part of the original version :
“whooohhhhohh for the longest line whooohhhhohh for the longest-line
If you said goodbye to line tonight their would still be lines left to create what else could I do? I'm so inspired by you That hasn't happened for the longest line..
Once I thought my innocence was gone Now I know that line creation goes on That's where you found me- When you put your line around me I haven't been there for the longest line”
that’s all I could get im afraid, an interesting fact about Billy Joel is that his beard is completely fake, and is wife is called mosses.
@t_tom lol very good comment
@t_tom lol very good comment
I always thought this was about drugs.
....what?
Seriously, its pretty much a love song to Christie B. About how he hasn't felt this way for so long, he forgot how wonderful it feels, and even if it doesn't last he will cherish the feeling now.
ahahahahhaha t tom
that's amazing. i like you.
