You Can't Take That

(álbum: Shakin' Things Up - 1997)

Don't forget the scarf I gave you
You're gonna need it when the cold sets in
I know you'll want the leather sofa
Now that you've finally got it broken in
Go ahead and take the table I just painted
That stuff was really never you and me
If there's nothing left in this room tomorrow
I'll still have all I need

[Chorus:]
You can't take the time we drove to Denver
Or that night we went out dancing in the park
You can't take the Christmas in New England
Or that feeling I still get in my heart
Whatever else you take is fine
'Cause I know there was a time
You loved me back
And you can't take that

I can help you pack your suitcase
But that ain't really what I wanna do
I'll go along with this decision
But don't you know that it kills me too
I wouldn't trade the stars for all the memories
I'd do it all again in a flash
I'm stronger than I was for having loved you
And you can't take that

[Chorus:]
You can't take the time we drove to Denver
Or that night we went out dancing in the park
You can't take the Christmas in New England
Or that feeling I still get in my heart
Whatever else you take is fine
'Cause I know there was a time
You loved me back
And you can't take that

Whatever else you take is fine
'Cause I know there was a time
You love me back
And you can't take that
You can't take the time we drove to Denver
