(Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler)
Lew Stone & His Band
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 you as long as I live
I never cared
Now I’m scared
Won’t live long enough
That’s why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple everyday
To see the doctor anyway
What if I can’t live to love you as long as I want to
Long as you promise you baby
I’m gonna love you as long as I live
