• 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 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've had some real good friends,
    I thought would never die
    now all I've got left of them
    are these tears in my eyes

    So if i could have one wish today
    and know it would be done
    I'd wish everyone could stay,
    'til they're too old to die young.
