Bing Crosby - When I Leave The World Behind Lyrics

Bing Crosby Lyrics

"When I Leave The World Behind"

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
I'm very 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 nighttime 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
