Lyrics Patti Scialfa

Patti Scialfa

As Long As I (Can Be With You)

They say there's a light

Through darkness shines

If two hands protect that light

Against the change of time

You can have your gold and silver

Build your kingdoms high

But it's just once of those things baby

That money can't buy

So I don't care where we go baby

I don't care what we do

As long as I can be with you

Now I've been lost

And I've been found

Been lifted up to the gates of heaven

And put back down

I've walked in chains baby

And I've walked free

But I never walk the way that I do

When you walk with me

So I don't care where we go baby

I don't care what we do

As long as I can be with you

Well maybe I'm just a foolish girl

'Cause I always thought the right kiss

Could wash away some sins of the world

Wash away those sins baby and go walkin' free

'Cause that's just how I feel darlin'

When you walk with me

So I don't care where we go baby

I don't care what we do

As long as I can be with you

As long as I can be with you
