Lyrics

Chorus
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’ries
Of a baby upon their knees
I’ll leave the night time to the dreamers
I’ll leave the song birds to the blind
I’ll leave the moon above to those in love
When I leave the world behind
When I leave the world behind
