"Regretting what I said to you when you called me at eleven o'clock on Friday morning to tell me that one o'clock Friday afternoon you were gonna leave your office, go downstairs, hail a cab, to go out to the airport, to catch a plane, to go skiing in the Alps for two weeks.

Here are the songs I could find (I may have missed some, but if I find any, I'll probably post them in another comment):
1) Storia di una donna che ha amato due volte un uomo che non sapeva amare (57 letters)
By the way, the title of the album in which the song is included, Per aver visto un uomo piangere e soffrire Dio si trasformò in musica e poesia, is even longer (64 letters), but it doesn't have a song of the same name :D
2) Dimmi che mi ami, che mi ami, che tu ami, che tu ami solo me (43 letters)
3) La musica è niente se tu non hai vissuto (32 letters)
4) Così va se ti va e questo finché mi andrà (32 letters)
5) If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind (32 letters)
6) Il mare più grande che c'è (I Love You, Man) (31 letters)
7) Per te che mi hai chiesto una canzone (30 letters exactly)
8) March 10, 1959 (Memories of the Taste of Freedom)
This one has a long title as well if we count the date in it: the title in brackets has 27 letters, so it's up to you whether to include it or not :D
The Last Of The Famous International Playboys by Morrissey
And
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths
Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me
And
Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before by The Smiths
I think I've got a good one but I'll have to count the letters
Oh yeah! This will CERTAINLY work! Prepare to dislike me a lot for getting this song stuck in your head! : https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mary-poppins-ost-supercalifragilisticexpi...
And the many languages the song was dubbed in could be added but that would be quite atrocious 😂
It was the first long title song that came to my mind 😂😂
I just counted it! The song title has 34 letters in it

What? No mention of Sufjan Stevens' "The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'"? At 226 letters (or 236 characters - excluding spaces) it should be close to the top of the list! There are several other titles on his "Illinois" album north of 60 letters, too...
