When the Good Die Young - Chip Taylor, Anton Fig

When the good die young

Wise men say it’s time

Don’t they know you’re living

In this heart of mine

Sometimes whenever I need you

There’s a life on the line it’s mine

I just wake up and I get the sign in time

And then I feel you around me

And I know what to say

And so I get through just one more day that way

But God I miss you tonight

Here comes the night

Here comes the night

Here comes that lonely night again

Please send a dream

Send a lovely dream

One where you’re with me in the end

And then I wake and I wonder

What the heavens will say this day

Stay strong and your heart will show the way I pray

But God I’ll miss you tonight

When the good die young

Wise men say it’s time

Don’t they know you’re living

In this heart of mine

Here comes the night

Here comes the night

Here comes that lonely night again

Please send a dream

Send a lovely dream

One where you’re with me in the end

And then I feel you around me

And I know what to say

And so I get through just one more day that way

But God I miss you tonight

When the good die young

Wise men say it’s time

Don’t they know you’re living

In this heart of mine

When the good die young

Wise men say it’s time

Don’t they know you’re living

In this heart of mine
