Lyrics for Song: As Long As I Live
Lyrics for Album: The Swinging Count [1998]
Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as Ilive.
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to,
But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as Ilive.
I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough.
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat
an apple everyday then see
The doctor anyway.
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.
I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow
I'm gonna take good care of me because,
a sneeze or two might mean the flu,
And that would never never do
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.
