If life is like a candle bright, death must be the windYou can close your window tight and it still comes flowing in
So I will climb the highest hill and watch the rising sun
And I pray that I dont feel the chill till Im too old to die young
Refrain : Let me watch my children grow
to see what they become
Oh Lord, dont let that cold wind blow
till Im too old to die young
Now I have had some dear sweet friends I thought would never die
Now the only thing thats 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 theyre too old to die young
Refrain, 2 fois : Let me watch my children grow
to see what they become
Oh Lord, dont let that cold wind blow
till Im too old to die young
