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
