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 than 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
