Ruth Etting — Ill Get By As Long As I Have You

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 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 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 [Instrumental Break] Poverty may come to me, that's true But what care I? Say, I'll get by As long as I As long as I have you
