Johnny Cash As Long As Lyrics

As Long As Lyrics

As long as...



Verse 1

I met you in the shadows and your face
was all aglow;

I remember it so well, though it was many years ago;

We both knew something happened without a lot to say;

But we had other
lives and so we went our separate ways;

But our hearts communicated and
every time we passed;

We were gradually building something that would
forever last.



Verse 2

My heart was calling for you when one
night you came along.  We danced around each other but then we sang our song. 
Our harmony was shaky, and the pitch not very true.  But then you gave in to me
and I gave in to you.  We had to fight the world and we fought with all we had. 
We vowed to be together through the sweet times and the bad.  



Verse 3

I hear you whisper every night “May I have this dance.”  And
though I'm not light on my feet I always take the chance.  We've gone through
many storms and often walked through fire.  But always our loving faith took us
higher and higher.  

We know the mystery of life; it's love hard and
long.



She:  I love you.  He:  I love you and I always will.  As
long...

As long; as long

as the sun; as the sun will shi~~~ne 

as long;
as long

as the grass shall grow
