For The Longest Time Lyrics - Sherwood

Would you wait if I came running home to you? 

Or if I moved right down the street a block or two? 

Distance is never on our side 

It only seems to make our dreams collide 

And you have gone on to someone new 

Would you wait if I wrote you a perfect song tonight? 

To make your heart stand still and make your chest grow tight 

But I'll never write a perfect line 

And I don't know why I even waste my time and try, whoa 

And for the longest time 

I couldn't love her to save my life 

Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah 

Cause in the longest line 

The front and the back are the same sometimes 

And taking a number has taken my time, whoa 

And there are things that I don't have the patience for 

And when I go to my room I leave an open door 

Cause I can't stand to feel alone 

And when you come around I'm feeling more at home, whoa 

And for the longest time 

I couldn't love her to save my life 

Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah 

Cause in the longest line 

The front and the back are the same sometimes 

And taking a number has taken my time, whoa 

Don't pass me by 

Give me another chance tonight 

To make your heavy heart so light that you can fly 

Cause every time 

I see the light behind your eyes 

The whole thing catches me in a moment by surprise 

And for the longest time 

I couldn't love her to save my life 

Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah 

Cause in the longest line 

The front and the back are the same sometimes 

And taking a number has taken my time, whoa, whoa 

And for the longest time 

I couldn't love her to save my life 

Never a moment of peace in my mind, whoa 

(Don't pass me by) 

Yeah, cause in the longest line 

The front and the back are the same sometimes 

And taking a number has taken my time, whoa 

(Don't pass me by) 

And for the longest time 

I couldn't love her to save my life 

Never a moment of peace in my mind, whoa 

(Don't pass me by) 

Yeah, cause in the longest line 

The front and the back are the same sometimes 

And taking a number has taken my time, whoa 

(Don't pass me by)
