As Long As I Have a Song Lyrics

Walk into the bar
And shake off my coat
Pull up a chair
And light up a smokeWhere did all those summers go?
Guess I'll never know
So barkeep let's give it a goPour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a songSit by the church
And hear children sing
I like to pretend they're
Singing for meMemories of melodies
And words that made me cry
They have all abandoned me
Sit back and watch me diePour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I'll get along

Just as long
As I have a songThe river is wide
And the ocean's so deep
The harder I try
The faster I sink into the rich of the dark
The cheapest of tricks
I've lost the fire
Still I'm sharpening my wick
But it's just smoke
And that's allSo pour me a tune
As blue as the moon
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a song
I'll hum along
And that is how I'll
Get along
