Lyrics
Too Old To Die Young
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If life is like a candle bright
Then death must be the wind
You can close your window tight
And it still comes blowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
And watch the rising sun
And 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 all I've got that's left of them
Are these teardrops in my eye
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
Lord don't let that cold wind blow
'Til I'm too old to die young
