026 - As Long As I Have Music
Verse 1
When (quick) the (←)world seems far be-yond me,
and I have no pla-ce to go;
when (quick) my(←)life seems cold and emp-ty,
and I feel I’m all a-lone.
Then a song that I (quick) re-(←) mem-ber
helps to ease my trou-bled mind.
And I find the strength with-in me
to reach out just one more time.
Chorus
For as long as I have mu-sic
as long as there’s a song for me to (←)sing,
I can find my way, I can see a bright-er day,
the mu-sic in my (pronounce ‘F’) life will set m-y spir-it free -
Oo-oo-ooo
(decrescendo) Ooo— oo-oo-ooo
Verse 2
When (quick) the(←)road the road is dark and lone-ly,
and I feel I wan-t to cry;
when (quick) the(←)dreams I keep in-side me
seem to fade an-d die.
Then I call up-on (quick) my(←)mu-sic,
and it helps to dry my tears.
And I know that I can make it
I’ll go on de-spite my fears.
Chorus
For as long as I have mu-sic
as long as there’s a song for me to (←)sing,
I can find my way, I can see a bright-er day,
the mu-sic in my (pronounce ‘F’) life will set m-y spir-it free- ee
