Till I'm Too Old to Die Young

If life is like a candle bright

Death must be the wind

You can close your window tight

And it still comes flowing in

So I will climb the highest hill

And watch the rising sun

And I pray that I don't feel the chill

'Til I'm too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow to see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

'Til I'm too old to die young

Now I have had some dear sweet friends

I thought would never die

Now the only thing that's left of them

Is the teardrops in my eyes

If I could have one wish today

And know it would be done

Well, I would say everyone could stay

'Til they're too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow to see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

'Til I'm too old to die young

Let me watch my children grow to see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

'Til I'm too old to die young
