As Long As I (Can Be With You)

Patti Scialfa


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
