Before I Go Songtext
von Jenee Halstead

I′m picking up raindrops, picking up snow
I'm picking up those wild ways that I′ve never known
I'm picking up light in autumn, picking up sound and speed
I'm picking up that fragrance you wore in 1953

Oh, before I go, to greet my love
Before I go, picking up all those things I′ve ever known
′Cause you can't take them with you when you go

I′m picking up dragonflies through the purple reeds
And I'm picking up lemonade
On the porch with a nice cool cross breeze
I′m dancing in silver grass under a harvest moon
Was this our last dance?
Darling, you just left too soon


Oh, before I go, to greet my love
Before I go, picking up all those things I've ever known
′Cause you can't take them with you when you go

I'm walking the desert, walking alone
I′m crossing the silence to the unknown
Up ahead an oasis, clear my vision please
Is this the paradise I′m going?
I fall down on my knees

Oh, before I go, to greet my love
Before I go, picking up all those things I've ever known
′Cause you can't take them with you when you go
Oh, before I go, to greet my love
Before I go, picking up all those things I′ve ever known
'Cause you can′t take them with you when you go

No, you can't take them with you when you go
No, you can't take them with you when you go
