As Long As the Grass Shall Grow (American Recordings)

[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
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

[Chorus: Johnny Cash and June Carter Nash]
As long
(As long)
As the moon
(As the moon)
Shall rise
(As the moon shall rise)
As long
(As long)
As the rivers
(As the rivers)
Flow
(As the rivers flow)
As long
(As long)
As the sun
(As the sun)
As the sun will shine
As long
As the grass
Shall grow

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash]
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

[Chorus: Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash]
As long
(As long)
As the moon
(As the moon)
Shall rise
(As the moon shall rise)
As long
(As long)
As the rivers
(As the rivers)
Flow
(As the rivers flow)
As long
(As long)
As the sun
(As the sun)
Will shine
As long
As the grass
Shall grow

[Verse 3: Johnny Cash]
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
(I love you)
I love you and I always will. As long...

[Chorus: Johnny Cash and June Carter Nash]
As long
(As long)
As the moon
(As the moon)
Shall rise
(As the moon shall rise)
As long
(As long)
As the rivers
(As the rivers)
Flow
(As the rivers flow)
As long
(As long)
As the sun
(As the sun)
Will shine
As long
As the grass
Shall grow
