This old world was just as sad a place for me
As could be
I was lonely and you
This old world then changed to paradise for me
Suddenly
Why? Because I love you
All the wealth and power I may never find
Still as long as I have you dear I won't mind
For I'll get by
As long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain, I'll see 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
I've neither wealth nor power
But now that you've said you're mine
Wherever I go, whatever I do
I'll be doing fine
Thought I may, be far away it's true
Say what care I dear I'll get by
As long as I have you
