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
