Lyrics:

8-bar intro

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 may 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 yo - ung)

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'll always remain
Forever young, (forever young)
Forever young, (forever yo - ung)
For ev-er young, For ev-er young

12-bar Solo

And when you finally 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 yo - ung)
For ev-er young, For ev-er young
For ev-er young, For ev-er young
