Verse 1

There was a time when I was younger, and all the nights and days were long

And everyday just getting stronger, like a sunflower in the sun, in the sun

Verse 2

Well Mr Moon was counting backwards, make the waters and air flow

And all the things we could and should have done,

but those old regrets will come and go, just come and go

Chorus

So stay forever young, don't you do what I have done

Oh stay forever young, before a paradise lost and an innocence gone

See the freshness of your young face, like a candle in the wind

And the brightness of your smiling eyes, their lighting up the room,

the whole room

Chorus

So stay forever young, don't you do what I have done

Before a paradise lost and an innocence gone

So stay forever young, don't you do what I have done
