As Long as I Have a Song Songtext
von Beth Hart

Walk into the bar
And shake off my coat
Pull up a chair
And light up a smoke

Where did all those summers go?
Guess I′ll never know
So barkeep let's give it a go

Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I′ll get along
Just as long
As I have a song

Sit by the church
And hear children sing
I like to pretend they're
Singing for me


Memories of melodies
And words that made me cry
They have all abandoned me
Sit back and watch me die

Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a song

The 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 all


So 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
