As Long As I Have A Song Songtext / Lyric

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
