OPENER/BREAK/CLOSER   Circle Left

If you said goodbye to me tonight

there would still be music left to write

Allemande your corner, do a do si do your girl, allemande your corner then you weave the ring

Once I thought my innocence was gone

Swing your girl around and promenade her right back home

That’s where you found me, when you put your arms around me,

that hasn’t happened for the longest time

I haven’t be there for the longest time

I intend to hold you for the longest time

TAG   That hasn’t happened for the longest time

 

FIGURE  Heads square thru - Right and left thru and turn - veer left, couples circulate one time, and the ladies hinge, diamond circulate, flip the diamond,

acey duecy, girls circulate, girl run and fold, swing your corner ‘round and promenade her right back home,

That’s where you found me, when you put your arms around me,

that hasn’t happened for the longest time

I haven’t be there for the longest time

 

 

The Longest Time Songtext

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
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 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 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
