He wrote the music for Nat King Cole 's 1951 No. 1 hit ``Too Young''. He died at a nursing home in North Bergen, New Jersey. He was 89 and had lived in Fort Lee, New Jersey. ``Too Young 's'' words were written by Sylvia Dee, a lyricist and longtime collaborator with Lippman. They got the idea for the song when she told him that her younger brother was getting married and she thought he was too young.
