Track Title: As Long As I Live Album Title: Harold Arlen Songbook, disc 14 Prime Artist: Ella Fitzgerald Arranger: Billy May Lyrics by: Ted Koehler (Theodore K.) Music by: Harold Arlen (b. Hyman Arluck) Producer: Norman Granz Orchestra: Billy May From the Show: Cotton Club Parade 1933 (S) Lyrics: 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. I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu, And that would never never do 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. Contributed by HeelsFans Validated by Todd Peach tpeach@gte.net
