I'd Rather Die Young Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Please, don't leave me never leave me 

I'd rather die young than grow old without you 

So don't ever leave me whatever you do 

Though others may tempt you and tell you they care 

You'll find only sorrow in a secret affair 

I'd rather die young than grow old all alone 

Please, tell me you love me let me call you my own 

To see someone's picture where my picture hung 

Believe me my darling I'd rather die young 

Don't leave me, never leave me 

Please, don't leave me never leave me
