Bilingual
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's passed me by
I may be 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 a memory
Of a baby on their knees
I'll leave the nighttime to the dreamers
I'll leave the songbirds to the blind
I'll leave the moon up above to those in love
When I leave the world behind
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 a memory
Of a baby on their knees
I'll leave the nighttime to the dreamers
I'll leave the songbirds to the blind
I'll leave the moon up above to those in love
When I leave the world behind
When I leave the world behind
