Too Old to Die Young

If life is like a candle bright

Then death must be the wind

You know you can close your window tight

And it still comes blowing in

So I will climb the highest hill

And I'll watch the rising sun

And I pray that I won't feel the chill

'Til I'm too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

'Til I'm too old to die young

I have had some real good friends

I thought would never die

But now all that I got left of them

Are these teardrops in my eyes

So if I could have one wish today

And I know it would be done

I'd say everyone could stay

'Til they're too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

'Til I'm too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

'Til I'm too old to die young

'Til I'm too old to die young
