You Can't Take It with You |
Daddy doesn’t get around so good anymore |
But I recall one sunny day we walked down to the store |
He reached into his pocket and handed me a dime |
Said «Buy you some candy son» |
I looked up at him and smiled |
On the way back to the house, the candy in my hand |
I felt like I had it all though we were poor back then |
So I asked dad if we were rich |
He just grinned and shook his head |
We stopped along that old dirt road and this is what he said |
«Life's a lot like money |
You spend it then it’s gone |
But it ain’t worth a nickel without family, friends and home |
So give your love freely as you go down life’s road |
‘Cause you can’t take it with you when you go» |
I stopped by to see my dad a week ago today |
It took awhile to remember me |
He has his good and his bad days |
But like a gift his memory came to him and he softly spoke my name |
It brought tears to my eyes and made me realize that day |
If tomorrow he should leave this world behind |
I’ll have the memory of his precious words in my heart and in my mind |
«Life's a lot like money |
You spend it then it’s gone |
But it ain’t worth a nickel without family, friends and home |
So give your love freely as you go down life’s road |
‘Cause you can’t take it with you when you go |
No, you can’t take it with you when you go» |
