can’t take them with you
you can’t take them with you
sometimes you want to love them
all night long
sometimes you want to keep them
when they ought to be gone
sometimes
you want to keep them
but you can’t take them with you
on the days when you reach them
the days when they reach you
you really want to keep them
pressed in an album
like a rose flavoured prize
the perfume to let you have them
all over again
but you can’t
take them with you
so
leave them standing in the aisle
with your voice in their heads
filling up their senses
from the songs that you sang
in a promise they’d be with you
wherever you might go
a little lie to hold them
till the end of the show when
you can’t take them with you
you can’t take them with you
no

That is a twist that I didn't expect. I will be with my wife forever.
For sure, GF. A little different from the perspective of the performer, perhaps.
