[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Emmylou Harris]
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

[Verse 1: Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash]
It was easy said (Sing it, pretty young thing)
That 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 still full of regret

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Emmylou Harris]
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

[Bridge: Johnny Cash]
That's Chuck Cochran on the piano

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
Oh, I never thought that night we parted
That life alone would be oh so bad
I know it sounds funny but I'll never forget
You're the only happiness I've ever had
[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Emmylou Harris]
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

[Outro: Johnny Cash & Emmylou Harris]
I'll love you dear as long as I live
