Leave Something Good

Song
Leave Something Good
by Angela Lansbury

My childhood's long ago
My mother's long dead
But I'll always remember
The kind words she said:

'What's on my mind
What's on my mind
We all want to leave
Something good behind

'We know in our hearts
That one day we will die
But while we are here
We enjoy and we try

We don't think about time
Until we are ill
Then we worry over
Health, pills, bills and wills

Even a king will
Make one last request
Even a miser
Will leave a bequest

While I'm still here
I want you to know
That I did my best
And I loved you so

What's on my mind?
Here's what's on my mind
You are the good thing
That I leave behind

What's on my mind?
What's on my mind?
You are the good thing
That I leave behind.
