I Have You and That's Enough for Me
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger, Vol. 4 [Bear Family (Germany)] [1995]
When lights are low and we're together
Come rain or snow who minds the weather
I have you and that's enough for me
Don't care if fortune never finds me
Don't need a host or friends around me
I have you and that's enough for me.
By the firesides where you find me
When the day is through
Left the world to pass our window
I don't mind when I'm with you.
When lights are low and we're together
Come rain or snow who minds the weather
I have you and that's enough for me.
--- Instrumental ---
Don't need a mansion on a mountain
With chandeliers and pink mumble fountains
I have you and that's enough for me
Don't need the presents money can buy me
Rich or poor you stand beside me
I have you and that's enough for me.
By the firesides where you find me
When the day is through
Left the world to pass our window
I don't mind when I'm with you.
When lights are low and we're together
Come rain or snow who minds the weather
I have you and that's enough for me.
I have you and that's enough for me...
I Have You and That's Enough for Me
Hank Snow's 'I Have You and That's Enough for Me' stands as a quintessential example of his mastery in country and western storytelling. Recorded during the height of his career as 'The Singing Ranger,' the track exemplifies his signature blend of yodeling and emotive vocals that defined the genre in the 1940s and 1950s. The song reflects the deep personal connection and faith often central to Snow's repertoire, capturing the essence of a man finding solace in divine presence. Released on a Bear Family compilation, this recording preserves the raw acoustic texture and lyrical depth characteristic of Snow's work, offering listeners a glimpse into the intimate narratives that made him a legend in American country music history.
