When I Leave the World Behind |
| I know a millionaire |
| Who’s burdened down with care |
| A load Is on his mind |
| He’s thinking of the day |
| When he must pass away |
| And leave his world behind |
| I haven’t any gold |
| To leave when I grow old |
| Somehow its passed by |
| I’m very poor but still |
| I leave a precious will |
| When i must say goodbye |
| I leave the sunshine to the flowers |
| I leave the spring time to the trees |
| And to the old folk I leave a memory |
| Of a baby upon their knees |
| I leave the nighttime to the dreamers |
| I leave the songbird to the blind |
| I leave the moon above to those in love |
| When I leave the world behind, when I leave the world behind |
| I leave the sunshine to the flowers |
| I leave the springtime to the trees |
| And to the old folk I leave a memory |
| Of a baby upon their knees |
| I leave the nighttime to the dreamers |
| I leave the songbird to the blind |
| I leave the moon above to those in love |
| When I leave the world behind |
| When I leave the world behind |
