Verse 1:
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 don't feel that 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
Verse 2:
Now I have had some dear sweet friends
I thought would never die
Now all that is left of them
Is the tear drops in my eye
If I could have one wish today
And know it would be done
I would say every one can stay
'Till they're too old to die young
Chorus
