Lyrics When the Good Die Young - Chip Taylor, Anton Fig

When the Good Die Young

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
