Lyrics
As Long As I Have You
©2005 Michael Porter & Wake Eastman
Peripetia Music, Inc. (BMI)
We've gone from brown bag to jet lag
It's been a rollercoaster ride
From pink slips to blue chips
We kept our heads above the tide
We stole from Peter to pay Paul
And if the Devil wants his due
I'd go from prince to pauper
As long as I have you
We've gone from junk heaps to leather seats
We always make it from A to B
From black & white to satellite
You still rest your head on me
We stole from Peter to pay Paul
And if the Devil wants his due
/I'd go from prince to pauper
As long as I have you
You make me stronger
You make me whole
You make me deeper in the river of my soul
We stole from Peter to pay Paul
And if the Devil wants his due
I'd go from prince to pauper
As long as I have you
