[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The years have come like velvet night
My youth beneath stole the pale moonlight
My bones are aching with the weight of time
I feel ancient long before my prime
The mirror shows a stranger's weathered face
I've lived too fast in this endless race
The reaper's shadow lingers at my door
I'm not ready yet, I want so much more

[Chorus]

Old before I die…
The fire burns too soon before my time
The wild winds howl and steal what's mine
The clock won't slow its cruel design

Old before I die…
The darkness calls my weary fly
The silence carries heavy shame
And nothing left to feel any flame

Hey you!! …. Old before I die

[Solo Grand Piano]

[Verse 2]

The women loved me in the midnight hour
The whiskey burned like a sacred power
The roads were endless, the nights were wild
I was the king of the reckless child
Now the morning light feels cold and cruel
I've paid the price like a hopeless fool
The reaper's shadow lingers at my door
I'm not ready yet, I want so much more

[Final Chorus]

Old before I die…
The fire burns too soon before my time
The wild winds howl and steal what's mine
The clock won't slow its cruel design

Old before I die…
The darkness calls my weary fly
The silence carries heavy shame
And nothing left to feel any flame

Hey you!! …. Old before I die

[Outro]

Old before I die…
Old before I die…
