(D. Locorriere/S. Silverstein)

|
You can't take it with you 'cause you didn't bring it
|
You can use it while you're here but when you go it's got to stay
|
You didn't write the song you just learned how to sing it
|
You may bring a little sunshine but you don't make the day
|
|
These shoes that I own somebody else'll wear 'em
|
And the road that I'll walk someone will walk again
|
And the loves that I've known somebody else'll share 'em
|
I'll just leave a couple of songs and things to a few well-chosen friends
|
|
A few well chosen friends, a few well chosen friends
|
We'll leave a couple of songs and things to a few well-chosen friends
|
|
Oh now you don't have to tell me that I'm the first to love you, 'cos I ain't
|
And I'm not young enough to think that I'm gonna be the last
|
So I won't promise nothing and you just might believe me
|
And let me sing one song with you before the band goes past
|
|
Before the band goes past, before the band goes past
|
Let's put it together and sing one song before the band goes past
|
|
Oh you can't take it with you 'cause you didn't bring it
|
You can use it while you're here but when you go it's got to stay
|
No you don't write the song you just learned how to sing it
|
You may bring a little sunshine but you sure don't make the day
|
|
You may bring a little sunshine but you sure don't make the day
|
|
Oh we can't take it with us 'cause we didn't bring it
|
We can use it while we're here but when we go it's got to stay
|
No we didn't write the song we just barely learned to sing it
|
We may bring a little sunshine but we sure don't make the day
