I'll love you dear, as long as I live. It was easy said the night we parted That we'd forget we'd ever met I haven't forgotten, I wonder if you have Or if your heart is full of regret. As long as I live if it be one hour Or if it be one hundred years I'll keep remembering forever and ever I'll love you dear, as long as I live. Oh, I never thought that night we parted That life alone would be oh, so bad I know it sounds funny but I can't forget you You're the only joy that I've ever had. As long as I live if it be one hour Or if it be one hundred years I'll keep remembering forever and ever I'll love you dear, as long as I live. I'll love you dear, as long as I live
