James Taylor - Never Die Young (Nice Jazz Festival, 1999)

Lyrics: We were ring-around-the-rosy children They were circles around the sun Never give up, never slow down Never grow old Never ever die young

Synchronized with the rising moon Even with the evening star They were true love written in stone They were never alone, they were never that far apart

And we who couldn’t bear to believe they might make it We got to close our eyes To cut up our losses into doable doses And ration our tears and sighs

You could see them on the street on a Saturday night Everyone used to run them down They’re a little too sweet, they’re a little too tight They’re not enough tough for this tough town

We couldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole No, it didn’t seem to rattle at all They were fused together body and soul That much more with their backs up against the wall

Oh, hold them up, hold them up Never do let them fall Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin That names us and claims us and shames us all

Oh, it had to happen someday soon There wasn’t nothing to hold them down They would rise from among us like a big balloon Take the sky and forsake the ground

Oh, yes, other hearts were broken I know other dreams ran dry But our golden ones sail on and on To another land beneath another sky

Let other hearts be broken Let other dreams run dry But let our golden ones sail on and on To another land beneath another sky Beneath another sky

Hold them Hold them up Hold ’em up Won’t you hold ’em up Can’t you hold them up
