Lyrics As Long as I Live (1963 Version) - Ella Fitzgerald

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
