IF LIFE IS LIKE
A CANDLE BRIGHT
IT 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 I PRAY THAT I
DON'T FEEL THE 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
NOW I HAVE HAD
SOME DEAR
SWEET FRIENDS
I THOUGHT WOULD
NEVER DIE
NOW THE ONLY THING
THAT'S LEFT OF THEM
IS THE TEARDROPS
IN MY EYES
IF I COULD HAVE
ONE WISH TODAY
AND KNOW
IT WOULD BE DONE
WELL I WOULD SAY
EVERYONE COULD STAY
TILL THEY'RE 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
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
