*You Can't Take It When You Go Lyrics

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 lifeYou can't take it when you go
That's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soulLies 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 believeCan't take it when you go
That's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soulCan't take it when you go
That's something that you oughta know
Love isn't counted in gold
Only in heart and soulOver and over, day after day
Life's precious moments are wasting away
If dreams are the schemes on which futures are made

Dream on sweet dreamer until you reach your graveYou 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
