First started singing professionally at age seven in the Off-Broadway show, The Night of the Hunter. Later, she appeared in the Broadway production of Les Miserables and in 2009, played Carrie in the national tour of Little House on the Prairie: The Musical. Carly's credits also include the Broadway show Wonderland and the PBS TV series The Electric Company.
Recently, the young singer has been pursuing her solo music career, performing at Birdland Jazz Club in New York and writing her own songs. She says, "I want to bring the soul back to pop. My record would be a mix of those two genres because I think that is something that is not really out there right now. I could fill that gap and appeal to a wide range of ages. I think I have the X factor because I have a uniquely mature sound and style for my age.
As Long As You Love Me
Carly Rose Sonenclar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven billion people in the world
Trying to fit in
Keep it together
Smile on your face
Even though your heart is frowning
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day
For your dreams, boy
You'll be my whole world
I can be my Destiny's Child on a scene, boy
But don't stress
Don't cry
We don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
