Longest Time Lyrics
[ARTIE with NEW DIRECTIONS, (JAKE), {MARLEY}]
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
For the longest time {Time}
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
For the longest
[ARTIE, (RYDER)]
If you said goodbye to me tonight (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
There would still be music left to write
[KITTY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened
(For the longest time)
[ARTIE, (RYDER)]
Once I thought my innocence was gone (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now I know that happiness goes on
[KITTY]
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
[ARTIE & KITTY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I haven't been there (for the longest time)
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
For the longest time {Time}
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
For the longest
[ARTIE, (RYDER)]
If you said goodbye to me tonight (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
There would still be music left to write
[KITTY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened
(For the longest time)
[ARTIE, (RYDER)]
Once I thought my innocence was gone (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now I know that happiness goes on
[KITTY]
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
[ARTIE & KITTY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I haven't been there (for the longest time)
[ARTIE with NEW DIRECTIONS, (JAKE), {MARLEY}]
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
For the longest time {Time}
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
For the longest
[SAM, (RYDER)]
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And the greatest miracle of all
[MARLEY]
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
[MARLEY & SAM (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
That hasn't happened (For the longest time)
[RYDER (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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)
[JAKE, (RYDER)]
Who knows how much further we'll go on (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
For the longest time {Time}
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
For the longest
[SAM, (RYDER)]
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And the greatest miracle of all
[MARLEY]
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
[MARLEY & SAM (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
That hasn't happened (For the longest time)
[RYDER (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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)
[JAKE, (RYDER)]
Who knows how much further we'll go on (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
[MARLEY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there
(For the longest time)
[RYDER (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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)
[ARTIE, (RYDER)]
I don't care what consequence it brings (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I have been a fool for lesser things
[ARTIE & KITTY (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you
(For the longest time)
[ARTIE (& MARLEY) with NEW DIRECTIONS, {JAKE}, {MARLEY}]
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
(For the longest time)
Woah-ooh-oh {Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh} (The longest)
For the longest (time)
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there
(For the longest time)
[RYDER (with NEW DIRECTIONS)]
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 (Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
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)
[ARTIE (& MARLEY) with NEW DIRECTIONS, {JAKE}, {MARLEY}]
Woah-ooh-oh-oh (The longest)
(For the longest time)
Woah-ooh-oh {Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh} (The longest)
For the longest (time)
Woah-ooh-oh {Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh} (The longest)
For the longest (time)
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
[ARTIE with MARLEY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
For the longest time
For the longest (time)
Woah-ooh-oh (The longest)
[ARTIE with MARLEY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
For the longest time
