As Long As You Live (06-29-38) - Mildred Bailey

I'm gonna leave you cause it's my time

Somebody else is beatin' my time

But you'll never hear me cry

'Cause as long as you live you'll be dead if you die

You had your fun and now you rush off

You're givin' me a royal brush off

You'll be sorry by and by

'Cause as long as you live you'll be dead if you die

Oh yes oh yes

Take the good advice I give

Oh yes oh yes

As long as you live you'll be dead if you die

You die you're dead as long as you live

So here's a final word of warning

You're gonna wake up dead some morning

Then you'll cry how 'bout that guy

I don't believe he was telling a lie

So take it from me as hard as you try

As long as you live you'll be dead if you die

I'm gonna leave you cause it's my time

Somebody else is beatin' my time

But you'll never hear me cry

'Cause as long as you live you'll be dead if you die

You had your fun and now you rush off

You're givin' me a royal brush off

You'll be sorry by and by

'Cause as long as you live you'll be dead if you die

Oh yes oh yes

Take the good advice I give

Oh yes oh yes

As long as you live you'll be dead if you die

You die you're dead as long as you live

So here's a final word of warning

You're gonna wake up dead some morning

Then you'll cry how 'bout that guy

I don't believe he was telling a lie

So take it from me as hard as you try

As long as you live you'll be dead if you die
