What You Leave Behind

What You Leave Behind 
@Rick Lang/Daryl Mosley 
V1
Someday they're gonna gather, your family and your friends 
Dressed in black and mourning for a life that's at its end 
When they all talk about you what things they recall 
What will be the moments that they cherish most of all 
Verse tag 
When they leave you for your final sleep 
Their memories are all they get to keep 
Chorus 
The moments when you listened, showed how much you cared 
The times when you were giving, the times when you were there 
It's not gifts or money they think back fondly of 
But the times when they knew that they were loved 
The lives you touch will be your only shrine...  
and all you keep is what you leave behind
V2
Those treasures that your purchased, back when you worked so hard
Someone will buy for pennies off a table in the yard 
It's not the gifts that you've given or the medals you have won 
But the seeds of love you planted and good deeds you have done 
Verse tag 
The mark you leave upon the human race 
It's what you did to make the world a better place 
Chorus
