When I Leave The World Songtext
von Teresa Brewer

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 wealth behind


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

I′ll leave the sunshine to the flowers
I′ll leave the springtime to the trees
And to the old folks, I'll leave a memory
Of a baby upon their knees

I′ll leave the nighttime, to the dreamers
I'll leave the songbirds, 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
