Only the Good Die Young

I heard you want to live forever
But karma keeps kicking you down
You looked to the wise and to your surprise they said

O-o-o-o-only the good die, only the good die young
We might as well all be bad
We all know
That only the good die young

I saw you standing over there
Watching them sing and fly in the air
You so badly wanted to sing along
But you were too shy, too scared and too proud to dare

I see your long golden hair
And your big brown beautiful eyes
They’re innocent, but they can’t hide
The frown inside 'cause life’s unkind

Only the good die, only the good die young
We might as well all be bad
We all know
That only the good die young

Is this a sick nightmare?
I hear you crying in despair
Life the cruel compromise
Where suddenly the lovely is daring you to dream

Don’t be chasing paper tigers
Life cannot defy the fighter
The adventure of your glorious soul
So be brave, embrace this beautiful life

Only the good, only the good stay young
There’s no need to compromise
Now you know
That only the good stay young

Young
Young
Young
Young

Only the good, only the good die
Young

Only the good, only the good stay
Strong
