[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 ebb and flow
And all the things we could and should've done
But them old regrets, well, they'll 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 paradise lost and innocence gone

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
So stay forever young
Don't you do what I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise lost and innocence gone
Oh, 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So stay forever young
Don't you do what I have done
Oh, stay forever young
Before paradise lost and innocence gone
Oh, 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
