Too Young
The final curtain came down
On Johnny at thirty-five
Left a family of nine little kids
And a devastated wife
And if it's the last thing I do
I'll do what I can
Cause it looks like hard times are here again
It looks like hard times
Are here again
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
Now he was both good and bad like everybody else
Rejected the Catholic church, said I'll get there by myself
And someone you could lean on when the going got to rough
But photographs and memories are not enough
The only unreplacable thing is love
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
After all is said and done
And body's laid to rest
Feel free to call on me
I've had a little more experience
But you're gonna have to live your life
Throwing caution to the wind
But I'll be with you till the end
You know I will
I'll be with you till the end
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
On Johnny at thirty-five
Left a family of nine little kids
And a devastated wife
And if it's the last thing I do
I'll do what I can
Cause it looks like hard times are here again
It looks like hard times
Are here again
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
Now he was both good and bad like everybody else
Rejected the Catholic church, said I'll get there by myself
And someone you could lean on when the going got to rough
But photographs and memories are not enough
The only unreplacable thing is love
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
After all is said and done
And body's laid to rest
Feel free to call on me
I've had a little more experience
But you're gonna have to live your life
Throwing caution to the wind
But I'll be with you till the end
You know I will
I'll be with you till the end
Too young
Much too young
Cut down right before our very eyes
Too young Johnny's too young
So fast we couldn't even say good bye
Or hold him for the last time
I can't believe how young they die
These days too young
