You Can't Take It When You Go

Don't try to possess me
 I'll slip from your grasp
 the things that you seek
 have already passed
 in rushing to own everything that's in sight
 nothing is left
 no, not even your life
 You can't take it when you go
 that's something that you oughta know
 Love isn't counted in gold
 only in heart and soul
 Lies can't hurt
 at least that's what you say
 but there'll be confusion
 as sure as night turns to day
 truth is a feeling you just can't deceive
 life's an illusion
 when you don't believe
 You can't take it when you go
 that's something that you oughta know
 Love isn't counted in gold
 only in heart and soul
 repeat
 over and over
 day after day
 life's precious moments are wasting away
 if dreams are the schemes on which future's are made
 dream on sweet dreamer
 til you reach your grave
 You can't take it when you go
 that's something that you oughta know
 Love isn't counted in gold
 only in heart and soul
