As Long as I Live - Oscar Peterson

Maybe I can’t live to love you as long as I want to.\nLife isn’t long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live.\nMaybe I can’t give you diamonds and things like I want to,\nBut I can promise you, baby, I’m gonna want to as long as I live.\nI never cared, but now I’m scared, I won’t live long enough.\nThat’s why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see\nThe doctor anyway.\nWhat if I can’t live to love you as long as I want to.\nLong as I promise you, baby, I’m gonna love you as long I live.\nI’ll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow\nI’m gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu,\nAnd that would never never do What if I can’t live to love you as long as I want to.\nLong as I promise you, baby, I’m gonna love you as long I live.\nContributed by heelsfans
