May the good Lord be with you

down every road you roam



and may sunshine and happiness aurround you



when you're far from home.

And may you grow to be proud

dignified and true



and do onto 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.



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 finally fly away



I'll be hoping that I've 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

forever young !
