Miss Leslie - Some Things They Can't Take Away

Once again, they cut off the telephone line

What you had for supper was the same yesterday

The landlord keeps knockin and there’s no way to pay.

I’ve noticed that you haven’t laughed in awhile.

You’ve done some hard time that’s taken your smile.

It’s just getting harder to get through the day

But some things they can’t take away.

Hold on to the little that’s left of your pride

Keep it close to you – deep down inside

And remember there’s one who will love you always

Some things they can’t take away.

You imagined that you’d find a better life here

Couldn’t get no worse – this must be your year

If you could only break even, then you’d be okay

But you’re back to begging – you’d do anything.

Everyone wants their money – they don’t understand.

They can’t see you doin the best that you can.

But don’t even listen to whatever they say,

Cause some things they can’t take away.

They can’t take the good things you’ve done in your life

The rain or the sunshine or the silvery moonlight

And no matter what happens I’ll love you always

Cause some things they can’t take away

Some things they can’t take away.
