 (, , , )
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
So  stay forever young,  don't you do what I have done
Oh  stay forever young,  before a paradise  lost and an innocence gone
 Before a paradise lost and  an innocence gone
