Well I love to wander on a sandy shore And I love to wander down the streets of towns I've never been before Take me somewhere out of reach lie in unfamiliar sheets And hear the ocean roar ask for more I could not do just as long as you're there too Just as long as I have you I'll go anywhere Just as long as you're there too I don't really care I'll go anywhere you want cause with you's where I belong I've just got to have you to make my life complete I've just got to have you there to be a part of everything I see In the windows I walk past in the mirror in the morning in my photographs In the candlelight cafes let me always see your face And oh it really doesn't matter just where the road leads To the top of a mountain or down to the sea Just as long as I have you... Just as long as I have just as long as I have
