I'd rather die young than grow old without you 

So don't ever leave me whatever you do 

To see someone's picture where my picture hung 

Believe me my darling I'd rather die young 

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 

Don't leave me never leave me please don't leave me never leave me 

I'd rather die young..
