I'll get by as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness, too
I'll not complain, I'll see it through
Poverty may come to me it's true
But what care I, say, I'll get by
As long as I have you
I'll get by, oh yes, honey child, I'll get by
Just as long as I have you
And remember though there be rain
And of course a little darkness, too
I ain't never gonna complain, umm, umm
Not me, I'll see it through
Poverty may come to me it's true
But what care I, say, I'll get by
As long as I have you
