May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam. And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home. And my you grow to be proud, dignified and true. And do unto others as you'd have done to you. Be courageous and be brave. And in my heart you'll always stay Forever young. (Forever young) Forever young. (Forever young) May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong, Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond. 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 And when you fin'lly fly away, I'll be hoping that I served you well. For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell. 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 For forever young
