IF LIFE IS LIKE A CANDLE BRIGHT, THAN DEATH MUST BE THE WIND
OH YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR WINDOWS TIGHT AND IT STILL COMES BLOWING IN OH 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 THE 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 LEFT OF THEM

ARE THE TEARDROPS IN MY EYES
IF I COULD HAVE ONE WISH TODAY
AND KNOW IT WOULD BE DONE
OH I WOULD SAY EVERYONE COULD STAY
TILL' THEIR TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG

REPEAT CHORUS
