I Can'T Take You With Me
I Can't Take You With Me
I can't take you with me,
when I leave this world to go home.
When I'm laid to rest when my life goes to pass,
underneath those blades of grass.
Maybe a marble stone,
marking a place, the life of me.
Don't stop too long, please,
grieving for me,
life needs to be moving along.
I'm here, to help, that life moves on,
don't get weak,
without being, staying so strong.
Move along with, your dreams in you,
find a place in this world, just being you.
But, on your wedding day,
look within,
you'll find me there for you.
I'll have a smile or two,
watching over you,
a hope, a tear of joy just for you.
And, when your children are born,
take a moment for me,
all I ask is, please, don't forget about me?
I'll always be there, with a little pride in my soul,
some dignity,
I'll be proud of you.
So, think of me some for a while,
along your life's way,
I'll think of you when I go home.
