Cover art for The Longest Time lyrics by Billy Joel

i cant believe there arent a lot of comments for this song! its such a perfect song. its talking about his doubts of getting into another relationship because he was hurt before, pretty badly. she kind of saved him and made everything better, so he was like, i don't care if i get hurt again, let's try this anyway.

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 that I hoped for

that sums up the whole thing.
