69—WHEN I LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND

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 mem'riesOf a baby upon their knees.I'll leave the night-time to the dreamersI'll leave the song-birds to the blindI'll leave the moon above to those in love,When I leave the world behind,When I leave the world behind.
