As Long as I Have You Lyrics

originally by Garnett Mimms (1964)
Written by Bob Elgin / Norman Meade

Born in darkness
but I fought my way up to the sun
Had a lot of battles
some I lost and some I've won
But let me tell you, girl
you ain't seen nothing yet
There's nothing in this world
that I can't get
As long as I have you (long as I have you)
Long as I have (long as I have you) you
As long as I have you

Give me mountains to crumble
and I'll turn them to sand
Let me put this world
in the palm of your hand

Find some teardrops
but I sang my way out of the blues
Had to learn to stand up
even when they scared me out of my shoes
But let me tell you, girl
you ain't seen nothing yet
There's nothing in this world
that I can't get
As long as I have you (long as I have you)
Long as I have you (long as I have you)
As long as I have you

Give me mountains to crumble
and I'll turn them to sand
Let me put this world
in the palm of your hand
Say you love me
and I know that half the battle is won
Don't cha worry about nothing
in your mind the best is yet to come

But let me tell you, girl
you ain't seen nothing yet
There's nothing in this world
that I can't get
As long as I have you (long as I have you)
Long as I have you (long as I have you)
Every thing's gonna be alright (long as I have you)
And I won't have to cry no more (long as I have you)
All my troubles will be over (long as I have you)
Yeah
