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 blowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
To watch the rising sun
And pray that I won’t feel that chill
Till 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
Till I’m too old to die young
I have had some dear sweet friends
I thought would never die
But all I’ve got that’s left of them
Is these tear drops in my eye
If I could have one wish today
And know it would be done
Then I would say everyone can stay
Till 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
Till I’m too old to die young
Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
And Lord don’t let that cold wind blow
Till I’m too old to die young
Till I’m too old to die young
