When I Leave The World Behind.kar

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 pass'd me by.

I'm very poor, but still,
I'll leave a precious Will,
when I must say good~bye.

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.

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.

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.

I'll leave the night time 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.

To ev'ry wrinkled face,
I'll leave a fire~place,
to paint their fav'rite scene,

within the golden rays,
scenes of their childhood days,
when they were sweet sixteen.

I'll leave them each a song,
to sing the whole day long,
as toward the end they plod.

To ev'ry broken heart,
with sorrow torn apart,
I'll leave the Love of God.

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.

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.

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.

I'll leave the night time 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.
