You Can't Take It With You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can't (you can't)
Yiou can't take it with you
You can't (you can't)
You can't take it with you
You can trust possessions
Gathered on a shelf
Making a profession
Of giving to yourself
You can trust in money
You can work for gold
But you don't have a prayer
If you buy it with your soul
You can't (you can't)
You can't take it with you
You can't (you can't)
You can't take it with you
You can build your empire
Gain the world's respect
See your little kingdom
As something to protect
What is wood and paper
Where eternity's concerned
Reinvest your heart
In something that won't burn
CHORUS
It's not what you have
It's not what you do
All you can take
Is what He's done in you
And all the other stuff
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
It's not what you have
It's not what you do
All you can take
Is what He's done in you
REPEAT CHORUS
