Long As You're Living Lyrics - Abbey Is Blue - Abbey Lincoln

(I) 

FORGIVE ME IF I SEEM TO PREACH - BUT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO SAY 

A MESSAGE THAT I HOPE WILL REACH - PEOPLE WHO ARE THROWING LIFE AWAY 

I CALL IT MY PHILOSOPHY - THAT IS WHY I PASS IT ON TO YOU 

BECAUSE IT WORKS SO WELL FOR ME - IT HELPS ME GET AWAY FROM STRIFE 

I HOPE YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY - THEY SAY THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE 

AND THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE - 'CAUSE BROTHER THIS IS YOUR LIFE 

(II) 

LONG AS YOU'RE LIVIN' - ALWAYS REMEMBER 

TIME IS FOR SPENDIN' - BUT THERE'S AN ENDING 

WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPIN' - LIFETIME IS CREEPIN' 

WAKE UP AND TASTE IT - FOOLISH TO WASTE IT 

SAMPLE AND SAVOR - ALL OF IT'S FLAVOR 

LONG AS YOU'RE LIVIN'......

LONG AS YOU'RE LIVIN' - ALWAYS REMEMBER

NEVER FORGET IT - OR YOU'LL REGRET IT
