As Long As I Live
Andrew Landon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The angst in his eyes tonight
Has nothing to do with fear
Tonight what he's gonna try
He knows will leave her in tears

The question he would ask
The answer she would give
The relief that "yes" could bring
Oh, now he's suffering

You will wear your whitest dress
I will wear my finest shirt
You will have the brightest smile,
And I'll give you the world

And I will never love anybody else
As long as I live, as long as I live
And I will never love anybody else
As long as I live, I promise you this

The tears in her eyes tonight,
Are just what he desires
He whispers in her ear
"My love you're beautiful, so beautiful.
And the ring you wear
It does not compare, with my love"

You will wear your whitest dress
I will wear my finest shirt
You will have the brightest smile
and I'll give you the world

And I will never love anybody else
As long as I live, as long as I live
And I will never love anybody else
As long as I live, I promise you this

Ooooh

(Promise you this)

And I will never love anybody else
As long as I live, as long as I live
And I will never love anybody else




As long as I live, I promise you this
