Billy Eckstine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As long as I live
You'll always be part of me
You'll live in the heart of me
As long as I live

As long as I love
I'll share it with you, my own
And want to be loved
By you alone

How sure am I
Of all the things I say
As sure as night
Will fall at close of day

You're all that I need
So answer this love I give




And whisper "I'm yours"
As long as I live

on Jelly, Jelly

The “meaning” of Jelly Jelly seems to have been written by ChatGPT. Surely “jelly”, like “jelly roll” was intended in this song to refer to sex/genitalia, and not something to spread on toast.
