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

Till I'm too old to die young.



Chorus:

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

Till 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

Till they're too old to die young.



Chorus:

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

Till I'm too old to die young.



Chorus:

Let me watch my children grow

To see what they become

Oh Lord, don't let that cold wind blow

Till I'm too old to die young...
