When I was young I never thought of growing old
We wished the time away not doing what were told
As I grow older time gets shorter every day
The ones we grew up with, they slowly fade away
And I say
I want to go first I don't want to go last
I want to go first I don't want to go last
All I'm asking.
I wish you, I wish you freedom from the past
I want to go first I don't want to go last
Don't let me sing alone
I met a girl so sweet on a bright sunny afternoon
We never thought this day would be here all so soon
I wish that I could tell her everything in life was fair
I turned around and then she slowly disappeared
And I said
I want to go first I don't want to go last
I want to go first I don't want to go last
All I'm asking.
I wish you, I wish you freedom from the past
I want to go first I don't want to go last
Don't let me sing alone
I see the writing on the wall
That all good men are doomed to fall
I sit and think about the time we used to have
I wish that I could stop and make it all come back
I don't want to live my life in fear or what may come
I'd rather go away than live this one alone
I want to go first I don't want to go last
I want to go first I don't want to go last
All I'm asking.
I wish you, I wish you freedom from the past
I want to go first I don't want to go last
Don't let me sing alone
Don't let me sing alone
Don't let me sing alone
Don't let me sing alone
