Lyrics for When I Leave The World Behind 1915 by Irving Berlin:
| | | Artist: | Irving Berlin |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | When I Leave The World Behind 1915 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
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
good-bye
[chorus:]
I'll leave the sunshine to the flowers
I'll leave the
springtime 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
[2nd verse:]
To every wrinkled face
I'll leave a fireplace
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
