[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

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 men

[Verse 3]

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 mad man

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

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?

[Verse 5]

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth's like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever

[Verse 6]

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams swinging out of the blue

We let them come true

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Forever young, I wanna be forever young

Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)
