| As Long As I Have A Song |
|---|
| Walk into the bar |
| And shake off my coat |
| Pull up a chair |
| And light up a smoke |
| Where did all those summers go? |
| Guess I’ll never know |
| So barkeep let’s give it a go |
| Pour me a dream |
| And play me a tune |
| And I’ll get along |
| Just as long |
| As I have a song |
| Sit by the church |
| And hear children sing |
| I like to pretend they’re |
| Singing for me Memories of melodies |
| And words that made me cry |
| They have all abandoned me Sit back and watch me die |
| Pour me a dream |
| And play me a tune |
| And I’ll get along |
| Just as long |
| As I have a song |
| The river is wide |
| And the ocean’s so deep |
| The harder I try |
| The faster I sink into the rich of the dark |
| The cheapest of tricks |
| I’ve lost the fire |
| Still I’m sharpening my wick |
| But it’s just smoke |
| And that’s all |
| So pour me a tune |
| As blue as the moon |
| And I’ll get along |
| Just as long |
| As I have a song |
| I’ll hum along |
| And that is how I’ll |
| Get along |
