When I Leave the World Behind

[guitar intro] [Verse] I know a billionaire, 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 wealth behind. [Verse] I haven't any gold To leave when I grow old, Somehow it passed me by. I'm very poor, but still I'll leave a precious will When I must say goodbye. [Chorus] I'll leave the sunshine to the flowers, I'll leave the spring time to the trees; And to the old folks I'll leave the mem'ries Of a baby upon their knees. [tasty guitar lick] [Verse] I haven't any gold To leave when I grow old, Somehow it passed me by. I'm very poor, but still I'll leave a precious will When I must say goodbye. [Chorus] I'll leave the night time to the dreamers, I'll leave the song birds to the blind; I'll leave the moon above to those in love, When I leave the world behind, When I leave the world behind. [tasty guitar lick] [guitar outro] [silence] [End]
