When I Leave The World Behind

When I Leave The World Behind - Cavan O'Connor

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

And Howiin poor but still

I'll leave a precious will

When I must say goodbye

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 memories

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

When I leave the world behind

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

When I leave the world behind
