Lyrics

  1. This old world was just as sad a place for me as could be
    I was lonely and blue
    This old world then changed to Paradise for me suddenly
    Why? Because I met you
    Although wealth and power I may never find
    Still as long as I have you, dear, I won’t mind, for

Chorus
I’ll get by as long as I have you
Tho’ there be rain and darkness, too
I’ll not complain, I’ll laugh it through
Poverty may come to me that’s true
But, what care I? say
I’ll get by as long as I have you

  1. Since we met my life is full of happiness, and I guess
    It will always be so
    Just as long as I can feel your fond caress, I’ll confess
    Cares and sorrows must go
    You have turned each frown of mine into a smile
    It’s your love alone that guides me all the while, for
