The world's been spinning 'round since time began An' when it stops, it's out of my hands So I could swear forever for all it's worth Or give you every day I have on Earth Long as I live Long as I breathe With every heartbeat I'll need you near me I won't leave you behind 'Til the Lord says it's time to go with him I'm yours long as I live No matter if there's mountains you can't move Or harder times then you thought you'd go through And the weight of your world's too much to bear Just remember I'll always be there Long as I live Long as I breathe With every heartbeat I'll need you near me I won't leave you behind 'Til the Lord says it's time to go with him I'm yours long as I live The moon and stars aren't mine to give Neither is eternity But I'll give you a promise tonight That I can keep Long as I live Long as I breathe With every heartbeat I'll need you near me I won't leave you behind 'Til the Lord says it's time to go with him I'm yours long as I live I'm yours long as I live
