Too Old To Die Young

Written By: Kevin Welch, Scott Dooley, John Hadley


   C              F      C
If life is like a candle bright
                  G
Death must be the wind
        C          F      C
You can close your window tight
       C           G       C
And it still comes blowing in
   C                F       C
So I will climb the highest hill
                    G
To watch the rising sun
    C                           F                   
And pray that I don't feel that chill
          C       G      C
'Till I'm too old to die young

Chorus
F               Bb       C
Let me watch my children grow 
                 G
To see what they become
    C                  F         C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow
          C       G      C
'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
