Dave Mason - You Can't Take It When You Go lyrics
rate meDon’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 life
You 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
Lies 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 believe
You 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
repeat
over and over
day after day
life’s precious moments are wasting away
if dreams are the schemes on which future’s are made
dream on sweet dreamer
til you reach your grave
You 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
