As Long As I Live
Kei Kobayashi Lyrics

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 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 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 I live.
...as long I live
...as long I live
