As Long As I Live

As Long As I Live - Lena Horne/Horace Henderson & His Orchestra

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 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 want to as long as I live

What if 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
