Lyrics

[Verse 1]
May the good Lord be with ya down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified, and true
And do unto others as you would have done to you
[Chorus]
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
[Verse 2]
May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to Heaven with a prince or a vagabond
[Chorus]
And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Yeah
[Verse 3]
And when you finally fly away, I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell
[Chorus]
But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Forever young
[Outro]
For, forever young
Forever young
Written by: Bob Dylan, Jim Cregan, Kevin Savigar, Rod Stewart
