What Will You Leave Behind

What will you leave behind?

What will you leave behind?, tell me what they’ll find
Can a picture taste your lips of summer wine?
What will you leave behind, the pure essence of your mind
Tell me will Heaven ever glow more than your smile?

Footprints in the sand, Dust in the wind, bones in the land
Rolling round in laughter,’Bout some card playing disaster
Can you remember the taste of your first kiss?

What will you leave behind?, tell me what they’ll find
Can a picture taste your lips of summer wine?
What will you leave behind, the pure essence of your mind
Tell me will Heaven ever glow more than your smile?

Who has walked that road before, kicked that stone or slammed that door?
Who has seen that sky so clear, that sunset where we drank cold beer?
Can you remember the smell of your baby’s skin?

What will you leave behind?, tell me what they’ll find
Can a picture taste your lips of summer wine?
What will you leave behind, the pure essence of your mind
Tell me will Heaven ever glow more than your smile?

History books only tell so much, a video you cannot touch
Photographs may fade with time, our memories a precious diamond
Can you remember the day you went away?

What will you leave behind?, tell me what they’ll find
Can a picture taste your lips of summer wine?
What will you leave behind, the pure essence of your mind
Tell me will Heaven ever glow more than your smile?
Tell me will Heaven ever glow more than your smile?
(Just a pondering thought!)
