Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As long as I have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through
Poverty
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.

As long as I have you
With you by my side, I have all I need
Though there be rain
Even in challenging times
And darkness too
Even in times of despair

But why should I worry
Say, I'll get by
I know I will persevere
As long as I have you.
As long as you are with me, I have all I need
