Too Old to Die Young

If life is like a candle bright

Then death must be the wind

You can close your window tight

And it still comes blowing inSo I will climb the highest hill

And I'll watch the rising sun

And pray that I won't feel the chill

'Til I'm too old to die youngLet 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 youngI 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
