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 is counting backwards Make the waters ebb and flow And all the things we could and should have done But them old regrets, well they'll come and go, just come and go So stay forever young Don't you do what I have done Oh, stay forever young Before paradise lost and innocence gone See the freshness of your young face Like a candle in the gloom In the brightness in your smiling eyes They're lighting up the room, the whole room So stay forever young Don't you do what I have done Oh, stay forever young Before paradise lost and innocence gone So stay forever young Don't you do what I have done Oh, stay forever young Before paradise lost and innocence gone Before paradise lost and innocence gone So stay forever young Don't you do what I have done Oh, stay forever young Before paradise lost and innocence gone So stay forever young Don't you do what I have done Oh, stay forever young Before paradise lost and innocence gone Before paradise lost and innocence gone
