You Can't Take It When You Go Songtext / Lyric

Don't try to possess me
I'll slip from your grasp
The things that you see
Have already passed
In rushing to own
Everything that's in sight
Nothing is left no
Not even your life

(CHORUS)
You can't take it when you go
That's something that you ought to know
Wealth isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and sole

Lies can hurt
At least that's what you say
But there'll be confusion
Sure as night turns to day
Truth is a feeling
You just can't deceive
Life's an illusion
When you don't believe

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

Over and over
Day after day
Life's precious moments
Are wasted away
If dreams are the schemes
In which futures are made
Dream of sweet dreaming
Till you reach your grave

(CHORUS)
