If you said goodbye to me tonight

There would still be music left to write

What else could I do

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Now I know that happiness goes on

And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you

A7           D     D7
And how you needed me too

Maybe this wont last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe Ive been hoping too hard

But Ive gone this far

And its more than I hoped for

I forgot how nice romance is

I havent been there for the longest time

A            Bm
I had second thoughts at the start

   F#7
I said to myself

Hold on to your heart

A              Bm
Now I know the woman that you are

      E7
Youre wonderful so far

        A
And its more than I hoped for

D       A        G               A
I dont care what consequence it brings

D       A        E             A
I have been a fool for lesser things

F#         Bm
I want you so bad

A7          D        D7    
I think you ought to know that

G           Em               A       D
I intend to hold you for the longest time
