As Long as I Live

(Emmylou Harris, Roy Acuff)

Emmylou Harris & Johnny Cash



As long as I live if it be one hour

Or if it be one hundred years

I'll keep remembering forever and ever

I'll love you dear, as long as I live.



It was easy said the night we parted

That we'd forget we'd ever met

I haven't forgotten, I wonder if you have

Or if your heart is full of regret.



As long as I live if it be one hour

Or if it be one hundred years

I'll keep remembering forever and ever

I'll love you dear, (I'll love you dear) as long as I live.



--- Instrumental ---



Oh, I never thought that night we parted

That life alone would be oh, so bad

I know it sounds funny but I can't forget you

You're the only joy that I've ever had.



As long as I live if it be one hour

Or if it be one hundred years

I'll keep remembering forever and ever

I'll love you dear, as long as I live.



I'll love you dear, as long as I live...
