Dave Mason You Can`t Take It When You Go Lyrics

You Can`t Take It When You Go Lyrics

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 whichfuture’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
