Eric Burdon And The Animals 

- As The Years Go Passing By... 

from "Love Is..." on MGM (1969)

 Ah, the blues.
 The ball and chain that is 'round every English musician's leg.
 In fact, EVERY musician's leg.
 Tryin' to kick it off, baby?
 No, no.
 You'll just never do it.
 And these are the blues of time,
 And the blues of a woman,
 And a man thinkin' of her
 As time goes by.

 There is nothin' I can do
 If you leave me here to cry
 There is nothin' I can do
 If you leave me here to cry
 You know, my love will follow you, baby,
 Mmm, until the day I die

 I've given you all I own;
 That is one thing you cannot deny
 Oh...I've given you all I own;
 That is one thing you cannot deny
 And my love will follow you, baby,
 Yeah, 'Til the day this man dies

 I've got failure all around me,
 No matter how hard I try
 I've got failure;
 It's all around me,
 No matter how hard I
 Try, try
 You know, my ghost will haunt you, baby,
 Until the day you stop down and die
 Well, you better get up
 Right now, right now
 Well...

 You think that you have left me behind
 And that with your other man you're safe
 And you're away from me, baby, but uh,
 One o' these days you're gonna break down and cry
 Because there is no escape from this man
 Because this man's love is so strong,
 He's gonna haunt you
 You know, my love will follow you,
 Mmm, until the day I die

 There is just one thing I want to tell you
 before I go
 I'm gonna leave it
 I'm gonna leave it
 Leave it up to you
 So long,
 baby, bye-bye
 Hey, I'm gonna leave it up to you, baby
 So long,
 baby, bye-bye

 Well, you know my love will follow you,
 Mmm, 'til the day I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I am dead
'Til the day that they rest my head
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I, I, I, I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day that you die and I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 'Til the day I die 'Til the day I die
 Die Die Die Die
