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
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
(Instrumental Break)
I never thought the night we parted
That life without you could be so bad
I know it sounds 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 remembering forever and ever
I'll love you dear as long as I live
