Stan Getz

Stanley Getz (February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophone player. Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young. Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists". Getz went on to perform in bebop, cool jazz and third stream, but is perhaps best known for popularizing bossa nova, as in the worldwide hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964). more »

Baby, 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 

Baby, I can't buy you diamonds and things 
Like I want to 
But I can promise you, baby 
I'm going to want you as long as I live 

Well, I never cared but now I'm scared 
That I won't live long enough 
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains 
And eat an apple every day and see the doctor anyway 

What if 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

Baby, 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

Baby, I can't buy you diamonds and things 
Like I want to 
But I can promise you, baby 
I'm going to want you as long as I live

Well, you know, I never cared but now I'm scared 
I won't live long enough 
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains 
And eat an apple every day and see the doctor anyway

What if I can't live to love you 
As long as I want to? 
Long as I promise you, baby 
I'm going to want to as long as I live
As long as I promise you

Well,
