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 !
