Don'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
