DonÔÇÖt try to possess me
IÔÇÖll slip from your grasp
the things that you seek
have already passed
in rushing to own everything thatÔÇÖs in sight
nothing is left
no, not even your life
You canÔÇÖt take it when you go
thatÔÇÖs something that you oughta know
Love isnÔÇÖt counted in gold
only in heart and soul
Lies canÔÇÖt hurt
at least thatÔÇÖs what you say
but thereÔÇÖll be confusion
as sure as night turns to day
truth is a feeling you just canÔÇÖt deceive
lifeÔÇÖs an illusion
when you donÔÇÖt believe
You canÔÇÖt take it when you go
thatÔÇÖs something that you oughta know
Love isnÔÇÖt counted in gold
only in heart and soul
repeat
over and over
day after day
lifeÔÇÖs precious moments are wasting away
if dreams are the schemes on whichfutureÔÇÖs are made
dream on sweet dreamer
til you reach your grave
You canÔÇÖt take it when you go
thatÔÇÖs something that you oughta know
Love isnÔÇÖt counted in gold
only in heart and soul
