Lyrics for As Long As I Live

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 I live 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 I live 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 every day 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 as 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 as I live Long as I live I'm gonna love you, baby Just as long as I live
