(Beasley Smith - Billy Vaughn - Randy Wood)

I'd rather die young

Than grow old without you

So don't ever leave me

Whatever you do

Though others may tempt you

And tell you they care

You'll find only sorrow

In a secret affair

I'd rather die young

Than grow old all alone

Please tell me you love me

Let me call you my own

To see someone's picture

Where my picture hung

Believe me my darling

I'd rather die young

Don't leave me

Mever leave me

Please don't leave me

Never leave me

I'd rather die young

Than grow old all alone

Please tell me you love me

Let me call you my own...
