The Longest Time (Billy Joel)

01 - DOWN BUT NOT OUT

Sorry I let things slide. Sorry I didn’t do my part.
We took things for granted, it’s not what we wanted, it’s what we turned out to be.
I think I know where we failed. I think in matters of the heart
You just can’t afford to give in, or ignore the song you are meant to sing.
And when that song is low, you sing low, and when it is high, you sing high.
And when you’re given words you don’t know, just sing harmony and let it ride.

Give it some reverb, doncha know sometimes that’s all it takes.
Give it some reverb, it is sure to make your song come alive.
Give it some reverb, it seems right to give yourself a break.
Your song sure needs singing, but there’s just no point in tryin’, if it's in a straight line.

We know we could have done more. Sure, we fell short, but it’s not too late.
We just forgot what it is, what it’s not, it can still turn out great.
Most of our song has been fine. I think in matters of the heart
You just can’t afford to give in, or ignore the song you are meant to sing.
And when that song is low, you sing low, and when it is high, you sing high.
And when you’re given words you don’t know, just sing harmony and let it ride.

Give it some reverb, doncha know sometimes that’s all it takes.
Give it some reverb, it is sure to make your song come alive.
Give it some reverb, it seems right to give yourself a break.
Your song sure needs singing, but there’s just no point in tryin’, if it's in a straight line.
