Forever Young lyrics

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while,

Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies.

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst,

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not ?

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power, but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad man.

Can you imagine when this race is won ?

Turn our golden faces into the sun,

Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune

The music's played by the, the madman.

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever and ever?

Forever young,

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever young?

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young ?

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth is like diamonds in the sun,

And diamonds are forever

So many adventures given up today, 1

So many songs we forgot to play.

So many dreams winging out of the blue

Oh, let it come true!

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever, and ever ?

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever and ever ?

Forever young,

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?
