As Long as I Live
Lance James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep rememberin' forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live
It was easy said that night we parted
That we'd forget we'd ever met
I haven't forgotten I wonder if you have
As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep rememberin' forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live
I never thought that night we parted
That life without you would be this bad
It may sound funny but I can't forget you
The only happiness I've ever had
As long as I live if it be one hour
Or if it be one hundred years
I'll keep rememberin' forever and ever
I'll love you dear, as long as I live
