Lyrics:
The Longest Time - Billy Joel (Cover)
Woah, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woah, oh, oh
For the longest
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
Woah, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woah, 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 person 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
Woah, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woah, oh, oh
For the longest time

I ran across one of your videos 2 days ago and have watched 6 or 8 of them since. You're beautiful and very talented. And you exude joy when you sing. It's obvious that you really love what you're doing and that just makes it that much more special. Keep doing what you're doing, Anne. I see a long line of success in your future. And thank you so much for the joy you give. You're a special lady.

Hope Sears If he hasn’t, maybe his legal team has. Copyright infringement perhaps.

[@infrdarkfire]

Wil Robles I wouldn’t be surprised if they did take a look at it, but I believe they can’t do a thing since this is a cover/arrangement. Something you should look into however is how much legal shit guitar hero and rock band have gotten into because their cover bands sound almost exactly like the originals.

This is a great performance, and just plain enjoyable. But much kudos also to the "pianoman" who wrote those soaring harmonies.

[@voice_of_g]

Oh Girl you hear me! Your spirit is stronger than everything else. You've got my heart 💖. You are such a beautiful young woman and you got such a breath taking voice. I would do everything to cover some songs with you. I would wish I would have start singing as pro earlier but I am started singing normaly with 14,5 and back than I was in the bass range. So in one month I am turning 17 and I'm still singing playing 4 instruments (Piano, Viola, Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar). But since I started singing in my school choir (16) I slowly realized that I could hit a lot deeper notes. So now my vocal range is about G1 or A1 up to C5. Thats more than 3 octavs. So my teacher put me into the Basso Profundo. And I am very proud of it to be the one and only Profundo in our choir😂. I love your voice and your spirit💗 Remember, never give up and keep the good work up😘

Anne is definitely the worlds most dreamiest most beautiful and talented woman! I could die a happy man if I had one chance to take her out to dinner and a walk or a moonlight beach and swim under a Hawaiian waterfall! Nothing sexual is needed she has this aura that draws you to her and just adore here even from afar. I would be lifelong bodyguard, butler or whatever just to the chance to wake and her first smile of the day and everyday! Thereafter that my real heaven when I die soon. I don’t think I’ve seen an woman like this in my life. She is truly stunningly gorgeous everyday l! God made the perfect angels when he created the reburn sisters Christina is gorgeous too! Sorry if you read this please forgive this tired and broken down man whose dreams of actually seeing a modern day Aphrodite rise above all the other women in this world and yes Annie its you! I want to write a letter saying how stopped from ending my life but I doubt you want to read it. Thank you for blessing us with your beauty and musical talents. I’m always a fan!
