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
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
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
So stay forever young, don't you do what I have done Oh stay forever young, before a paradise lost and an innocence gone
