its a long time since i drank champagne,
the ocean is blue as blue as your eyes,
i'm gonna take it with me when i go.
old long since now way back when,
we lived in coney island,
ain't no good thing ever dies,
i'm gonna take it with me when i go.
far far away a train whistle blows,
wherever you're goin', wherever you've been,
waving goodbye at the end of the day,
you're up and you're over, and you're far away.
always for you and forever yours,
it felt just like the old days,
we fell asleep on beaula's porch,
i'm gonna take it with me when i go.
all broken down by the side of the road,
i was never more alive or alone,
i've worn the faces off all the cards,
i'm gonna take it with me when i go.
children are playing at the end of the day,
strangers are singing on our lawn,
its got to be more than flesh and bone,
all that you've loved is all you own.
in a land there's a town,
and in that town there's a house,
and in that house there's a woman,
and in that woman there's a hear i love,
i'm gonna take it with me when i go.
