As Long As I Have You

And I won't care at all
As long as I have you
Every kiss brings a thrill
And I know that it will
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
As long, as long as I have you
As Long As I Have You
José Feliciano's 1968 hit "As Long As I Have You" stands as a defining moment in Latin pop history, blending traditional bolero rhythms with a sophisticated jazz sensibility. The recording showcases Feliciano's signature vocal style, characterized by a warm, baritone tone and intricate phrasing that elevated the bolero genre to new heights. Released during a period of intense commercial success for the artist, the track exemplifies his ability to fuse American pop structures with authentic Latin instrumentation. While the song did not achieve the massive chart dominance of his earlier work, it remains a critical favorite among fans of the era, celebrated for its emotional depth and melodic beauty. The composition reflects the broader cultural exchange of the late 1960s, where artists like Feliciano helped introduce complex Latin sounds to mainstream audiences.
