Slow down, you crazy child<br />
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile<br />
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two<br />
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?<br />
And you know that when the truth is told<br />
That you can get what you want or you can just get old<br />
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through<br />
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you<br />
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?<br />
The Longest Time. Doo-wop song (1984)<br />
Billy Joel (b. 1949)<br />
—INTERMISSION—<br />
Like This Night, The Longest Time was released on the album An Innocent Man. On the original<br />
recording, Joel sings all the vocals: he recorded 14 different background tracks which were all mixed<br />
together. The song is accompanied only by bass guitar, hi-hats, and finger clicks.<br />
Text:<br />
Woa, oh, oh, oh<br />
For the longest time<br />
Woa, oh, oh<br />
For the longest<br />
If you said goodbye to me tonight<br />
There would still be music left to write<br />
What else could I do<br />
I'm so inspired by you<br />
That hasn't happened for the longest time<br />
Once I thought my innocence was gone<br />
Now I know that happiness goes on<br />
That's where you found me<br />
When you put your arms around me<br />
I haven't been there for the longest time<br />
Woa, oh, oh, oh<br />
For the longest time<br />
Woa, oh, oh<br />
For the longest<br />
