This old world was just a sadder place for me
As could be
I was lonely and blue
This whole world has changed to paradise for me
Suddenly
Why? Because I met you
All the wealth and power I might 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 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
