Analysis of As Long As



As long as im still breathing
I'll always be here
As long as my heart keeps beating
I'll be here to dry your tears
As long asim standing
I'll be here to stop your fears
As long as my life is here
my job is to help you get by
As long asi have my soul
i would never want to see you cry
But the day my life is over thats the day we have to say
GOOD BYE!
