[Verse 1]
C G7
If life is like a candle bright then death must be the wind
C F C G7 C
You can close your window tight and it still comes flowing in
G7
So I will climb the highest hill and watch the rising sun
C F C G7 C
And I pray that I don't feel the chill till I'm too old to die young
[Chorus]
F C G7
Let me watch my children grow to see what they become
C F C G7 C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow till I'm too old to die young
[Verse 2]
C G7
Now I have had some dear sweet friends I thought would never die
C F C G7 C
Now the only thing that's left of them is the teardrops in my eyes
C G7
If I could have one wish today and know it would be done
C F C G7 C
Well I would say everyone could stay till they're too old to die young
[Chorus]
F C G7
Let me watch my children grow to see what they become
C F C G7 C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow till I'm too old to die young
F C G7
Let me watch my children grow to see what they become
C F C G7 C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow till I'm too old to die young
F C G7
Let me watch my children grow to see what they become
C F C G7 C
Oh Lord don't let that cold wind blow till I'm too old to die young
