i heard a song on the radio today at work, and i had forgotten how much i LOVED this song. dave thompson (father figure) and me danced to it at his birthday party once and we use to always sing it..it was like our thing...and the song caught me dead in my tracks...i sang the whole thing without realizing i did. and ryan (new ryan) from ryan was like...hey youve got an ok voice.... i love this song....its probably one of my most favorite songs, i got home and downloaded it RIGHT AWAY.i dont think ive even heard the song since dave died.... but it made me REALLY REALLY happy and REALLY REALLY depressed to hear it...all at once.

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 that 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 woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more that 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
