Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll get by
As long as I have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through

Poverty
May come to me, it's true
But what care I
Say, I'll get by
As long as I have you.

But what care I




Say, I'll get by
As long as I have you.
